Hi all
I've had mild gastritis in the past and am on omeprazole for reflux. Recently my health anxiety has been through the roof and the lump in my throat feeling has come back and also my reflux seems worse. I've noticed if I drink a large glass of water quickly it can almost feel like it's trying to come back up. I had an endoscopy done about 18months ago and everything was fine. My gastroenterologist said stress can make a lot of reflux problems worse. I've had blood tests done and all fine. He did mention that after doing a colonoscopy on me that I had some mild microscopic inflammation in my bowel but that he wasn't concerned about it and he'll just keep an eye on me.
I'm going to see him for a chat next Monday.
I wish I could stop stressing about my health but I can't. It's the thing I think about most and has been for months.
I'm having therapy but it's a slow process.
Sorry for Rambling.
