I'm the same way, I had terrible esophageal pain and food getting stuck in November and my GI was convinced that I had developed esophgitis at the least, so she insisted on scoping me again because...
Hi Andy, I have read a lot of your post from the GERD forum as well as here. I feel like we have the same GI tract! For almost two years now I have been suffering from symptoms of major gastritis and...
Bump...
I have been on Dexilant 60 for two months now and about two weeks ago I started to have lower left rib cage pain. I didn't think it was the medicine but then I realized that the pain starts pretty...
Hey guys, My anxiety is threw the roof right now. My GERD started in March 2015 and it was a horrifying experience. I was scoped because of stomach issues and food getting stuck. My scope was clean....
Last year I suffered off and on with GERD and my main symptom was food going down slowly and also getting stuck at times. I had a scope done in March of 2015 and it showed nothing, but because of my...
I was diagnosed a year ago with GERD and they found nothing on my scope but they did find that my BRAVO test showed reflux. My GI told me to get the Linx, referred me to a surgeon and sent me on my...
A year ago today I had the Bravo test done and according to my doctor she didn't even do a biopsy because my esophagus looked perfect. My total DeMeester Score was a 15.8. The GI basically told me I...
Thank you for your replies :-) I really appreciate it. Larry, I do have insurance and because I am 34 our well woman appointments do not include a mammogram until we are 40 years old if there is no...
Hello all, for the past 7 weeks I have had pain in my ribs that surround my left breast area. I first (well still do) think its breast cancer. I have been to 2 primary care physicians, 2 OB's and 1...
Thank you for your replies. It makes me feel good talking to people who have been there. I just wish I didn't second guess my doctors and I wish every little pain didn't send me on a spiral of...
Well at my age (34) breast cancer seems to be the most likely cancer I could get. Even though my chances of getting it are like 1%. I still think I could be that rare unfortunate person. So for the...
But my doctor did examine me and there were no lumps and my breast feel normal. Then pain seems to radiate from my ribs that's why I think it could be GERD....
Did not have a mammogram because I'm only 34. But im thinking of maybe requesting a ultrasound when I see my doctor on Thursday. I'm actually kind of hoping it's just my GERD and not breast related...
Just wondering about everyone's chest pain and location. I feel like I have had the typical chest pain in the sternum area and also lower rib cage area. But now it's a little different in that it's...
Hi everyone, I'm 33 and I am a stay at home mom right now for my three little girls (7,5&2). They keep me busy but also take my anxiety to a extreme. Will live in sunny Southern California (born and...
For the past two nights I have had itching all over my body. It really doesn't bother me during the day, just at night. So of course my mind is going directly to lymphoma. I know it's probably dry...
Lately I've been checking my little girls lymph nodes like crazy, I don't know why but I'm on this kick that i think they may have lymphoma. The crazy thing is, is that I know what an enlarged lymph...
Im so scared of dying or of one of my children or husband dying. Wether it be from an illness ( that's usually my biggest fear) or from something else. I'm literally making myself sick and not...
Thank tou guys for your reply, it's funny because the ENT I went to totally brushed off LPR and said they don't really diagnose that anymore (I don't know what planet he lives on). About a week after...
Hi everyone, For the past couple of weeks I have had outer (and sometimes inner) ear pain and the feeling like water is in my ear. I went to my ENT and he saw nothing wrong with my ears. I did have a...
Mine past on Tuesday (I think) but I haven't seen it yet (not that I'm digging either...haha). I have hemmeroids and they were hurting too last night, but feel better today. Pretty interesting. I...
Thanks for the replies :-) it finally feel off on Tuesday and by Wednesday I felt nothing. I too have a hypersensitive esophagus and I was so worried about taking this test, but once it fell off I...
Hi Everyone, I had my capsule placed on Friday morning for my Ph Bravo study, so I'm currently on day 4. I feel like my pain is getting worse! Before I just had pain when I would eat, now I feel like...
Thanks everyone for advice! I had my capsule implanted yesterday. I have some discomfort when eating and it feels like something is stuck (wait something is...haha). I just hope all this is worth it,...
I've been dealing with acid problems for 7 months now and back in August I went to a different GI Doctor because my first did my scope back in March saw nothing and because I was complaining of food...
I actually know 2 people that have EoE and I'm actually going in for a scope next month because my GI thinks I might have it too. I have trouble with food getting stuck and also a deep pain in the...
Three months ago I swalloed really hot food and I felt it burn in the middle of my chest. Three months prior to that I had a scope and a dilation done, which caused severe heartburn. Now I feel like...
Yes I had severe heartburn for months after my dilation. It was so bad even water gave me heartburn. To be honest I really didn't have heartburn before my dilation, I had my scope because I was...
Has anyone had the tingling/pins and needles sensation while on PPI's? I'm assuming it's from the medication because I got it when I started Prilosec and now I'm having it again on Dexilant. It comes...
Basically quit cold turkey and I have been through acid rebound before and it's horrible. I don't see how my test can be effective when I will be going through Major rebound. I would rather taper...
Hi there, So I went to a different GI and she wants to do a ph bravo test and a biopsy of my esophagus (she thinks I might have EoE). But here is the thing, she scheduled my test for two weeks and...
Hi Heather, I too have been having trouble swallowing, mine started about 6 months ago and I had a scope done about 5 months ago and it was clear but because I was having trouble with food getting...
I Swear this was my post about 5 months ago. EXACT same symptoms! Mine too started with nausea and no appetite. Then because i wasn't getting better after two weeks they gave me a zpac and thats when...
Thanks Paul, I was getting a little anxiety over my headaches because I'm not prone to them but I figure it's the Dexilant since it started after taking it and they won't seem to go away. It stinks...
Has anyone on Dexilant experienced headaches? I've been on it for three weeks and I have had headachs come and go for a little over a week now. It's working great for my GERD; I haven't had heartburn...
Hello all, I'm new here and I'm also kinda new to my health anxiety, I guess you can say that I'm a "cyberchondriac" I google a symptom and it leads to CANCER (always) and I'm believe it. It all...
It's funny cause I had three babies and with all three I didn't drink wine and coffee for at least ten months and I did that for their health so why can't I do that for mine. Your right too, once you...
Thanks for your concern, it's not my heart because I had that checked 2 months ago. I too think of the worst....ha! I think I figured out what's going on with me. When I had my scope I also had a...
I was wondering if anybody on here has this? I have been having issues with my esophagus for about 4 months now and my scope which was done in March was clear. My first symptom was acid coming up bad...
Hang in there Paul! Good for you in getting this under control while you are still young, I've seen what acid reflux can do to someone after decades and decades and it's horrible. My Father in Law...
It was a potatoe that originally burned me, but I had been suffering from bad heartburn so I think it was already irritated and this made it worse. It started feeling better and then it's bad again,...
Hello all, I'm new here and I'm also somewhat new to GERD/heartburn. About 5 months ago my symptoms started, and I'm still not sure what caused them although I'm thinking it was an antibiotic I was...
