Dante, I had your exact symptoms 13 years ago. I visited 5 cardiologists, had every test including catheritization and all was clear. I then found a gastroenterologist who did all of the esophogeal...
Alcie, I've tracked every ounce of food and drink both adding and subtractting everything imaginable including fasting after 5 pm and there doesn't seem to be any trigger that i can detect. I've done...
darryl and others, I have had your exact symptoms since 1998. I went to 4 cardio specialists, had 2 endoscopies, all of the GI work up, a 3 day probe, and nothing. My new Gastro Doc said it had to be...
These 3 conditions are getting more intense daily. Unfortuneatley I've found no relief for any of the three. I'm beginning to think that the common thread is the Vegus Nerve that defineatly can have...
