Oesophageal

[minion]

Hi guys. Ashamed to say it but I am a mess again. For the past week, food is getting stuck in my chest. Causing me pain and discomfort. I have had reflux and lpr for a few years. So this must be oesophageal cancer. I am having trouble swallowing food and it gets stuck. Two pills have been stuck in my chest for the past hour!! I am terrified

What medication are you taking for it?

I am taking gaviscon tablets. Omeprazole doesn’t agree with me. But everything is getting stuck in my chest and is painful.

So very worried. Ate 2 biscuits and the have been ‘stuck’ behind my chest for a long while now. No gp available for the next 2 weeks. In a panic as I feel this is cancer! In pain and scared. I don’t think lpr can cause these extreme symptoms 😞

I take Omeprazole because I can't take Gaviscon.


Try eating small meals and make sure you chew the food up a lot. You could try liquid food for a while like soups.

I really don't think it is cancer but you are just panicking and came up with that as an answer.


Indigestion can be very painful.
