It really started (I think) last February with anxiety/mild depression. Had a light anxiety attack. I was battling with the anxiety until November then the gastro issues started. Burning upper abdominal. I was really scared thought it was my heart. Went to ER 4 times normal ekgs and blood work. My platlets were low at 110. Endoscopy did show 2cm hiatal hernia.(could be the problem) but dr doesnt thinks so.
Now the burning is somewhat gone. Now I get trapped gas more like cant burp or alot of burps. Off and on heartburn.
So far I had ekg, abdominal ultrasound, heart ultrasound, endoscopy, xrays, blood work.
Its driving me crazy basically 7 days a week. Feels like 24/7.
Changed my diet which has helped some.
Not sure what going on if it stress/anxiety causing it or the reverse. Makes you depressed after awhile like when is this ever going to go away.
Tried PPI dint work. Only med taking now is klonopin tryi g to lower dosage weekly.
See my gastro Dr and psyciatrist next Saturday dont even know what to ask or do no more. Take the monometry test and PH test and after that? Who knows its scary thou. Take care maybe we will figure it out.
