Hi. Early last year, I developed the sensation of shortness of breath. I was told it was anxiety by every specialist at the time. I'm a 24-yr old male. The testing I had done is as follows:...
anyone?...
Hello, after having my heart and lungs checked extensively (echo, several ekg, ct scan, 2 chest xrays, blood work, spirometry). All normal. I finally had an endoscopy that showed bad acid reflux...
Thanks for the response. I keep getting light-headed and my sternum and stomach always feel bad. No idea how to fix this.....
For the past 2 years I've gotten drunk every day. At least 5 beers a day, and usually at least 1 shot. I am a smoker, and eat poorly. I'm 23. After saying that, you might wonder why I even need to...
Hey, yeah I had an echocardiogram, stress test, several ECG, hyperthyroid tests, anemia, kidney tests, 2 chest xrays, a CT scan for blood clots, spirometer tests.... All normal. But this blood...
I have been having chest/neck tightness and severe shortness of breath for almost a year now. I had an endoscopy that showed esophagitis and gastritis. I suppose that after all the other tests I've...
My endoscopy showed an irregular z-line. When i type that into google, all the results scream "BARRETT'S ESOPHAGUS" like I'm about to die from cancer. "Irregular z-line typically leads to BE." My...
I hate to keep bothering you since my initial claim was that I just wanted to ask "a simple question" and now it's like, 10 questions later. My bad, but my symptoms (chest/throat tightness, feeling...
I haven't tried tums yet or any anti-acids except this prescription pantaprazole. I keep hearing about something called D-Limonene, supposedly neutralizes stomach acid instead of just reducing the...
thanks for the reply. it does make me feel a bit better. In this world in which information flows more freely and more quickly than ever, it can be difficult for me to differentiate between anxiety...
I did see a pulmonologist. I was not insured at the time so it was out of pocket and I opted to just let her review the chest x-ray and spirometer tests I'd already done instead of requesting further...
Hi, thanks for responding. I had a biopsy taken during the endoscopy and there was apparently no indication of harmful bacteria or ulcers. If these symptoms can't persist solely because of reflux for...
I'm posting just to ask a simple question in the hopes that someone has experienced what I'm going through. It would make me feel better if I knew that this wasn't fatal. I had an upper endoscopy,...
bump, just looking to see if anyone here with asthma can tell me if it exclusively comes inconsistently as a result of exercise, weather, etc. or if it can suddenly appear and then last for months...
Hello, just wondering if asthma symptoms can persist every day, every second of the day and night, for months and months. I have esophagitis and they say it's from GERD, but the only symptom I get...
I feel a bloating frequently around the rim of upper stomach area and in my stomach in general but I never really made the connection to eating. It's probably the case though. It feels like something...
I have had tests on my lungs and heart and throat that revealed no abnormalities, blood work for anemia and thyroid issues (nothing), and an upper endoscopy that finally revealed some inflammation of...
I've just had an upper endoscopy and they told me there's a bit of erosive damage in my esophagus. They want me to take PPI but I've read that these can have dangerous side effects. Has anyone tried...
I'm sorry to bump a thread that's a few weeks old, and I'm grateful for the responses I've gotten. My breathing is particularly labored today ever since I took a few hits of marijuana for the first...
so you think it's not that bad to get frequent palpitations? I mean, my testing was normal (kidneys too) but I'm still paranoid that my cardiologist just missed something. If i were to get a 24-hour...
Hi, I've decided to post here in the hopes that someone can calm my nerves, or at least point me in the direction of eventually becoming calm. Here is a list of symptoms I've been experiencing for...
I have one more question, if anyone here might be able to answer it. If the reason I'm experiencing constant shortness of breath is because of GERD and acid traveling back up my trachea, how can I...
Thank you for taking the time to give me a reply. When I say shortness of breath, yes I feel like I have to work to get a full breath. At all times I'm on the verge of needing another...
Hello, I am 23 years old and these are the symptoms I've been having for almost a year to no diagnostic avail: Shortness of breath (feels like I can't get oxygen to my body, can GERD cause lung...
