Hi there
new to these boards and posting to see if anyone can relate to this or give me any info regarding the issues
Basically I have always had a phobia of hospitals/surgery etc and thankfully never had to go. Always avoided the doctors too and was always generally pretty healthy
Last few years though I had been showing signs of Acid reflux/Gerd which have steadily got worse over the years.
These days my symptoms are constant throat clearing, chest tightness, breathing feels strained and difficult sometimes making me take deep breaths, hoarse throat (Especially after drinking alchol), burning sensation in throat after certain foods and burping alot. I always had a pretty lousy diet and dont eat enough fruit and veg.
Anyone here have similar sysmptoms/issues to put my mind at ease.
Everyone says I need to go doctors but i really hate the idea of a camera down the throat as that freaks me out. And if it was anything really serious, I think i'd rather not know!!! :(
