It seems as if my condition is unknown or something, because no one has any idea what it is. Yes, that includes my doctor.. :/
I always have this feeling of food/drink backing up into my throat and I feel nauseous like everyday. I have no idea if it is though as it's never come up any further (thank god...). I'm also belching constantly as well it seems, which makes me think that there is excessive acid in my stomach but I'm just not sure. Sometimes it feels like my throat is tightening as well which is kinda uncomfortable but only lasts a few seconds every time. I'm losing a lot of sleep because I always need to sit up in bed to belch.. :doh: Most of my burps these days need to be forced which then can lead to liquid coming up and then leaving a horrible vomit taste in my mouth. The liquid just feels like water, not acidic or anything which baffles me. After I burp, I usually feel like my throat is closing up or something but when I swallow it goes and my throat makes a gurgling sound. Can you even have GERD without the acidic sensation?
I've tried some anti-acids like omerprazole because my doctor suspected that I may have acid reflux, and after a month of taking them I didn't feel any different. Same with taking Gaviscon. After that, my doctor just assumed it was all anxiety since the medication didn't work.
My Father has a weak esophagus and has had acid reflux in the past and after I explained my symptoms he said he hasn't had what I have had before. He just said it feels like acid coming up into your throat, something I don't even get. Also, omerprazole works for him. :shrug:
I thought that I may have a hiatus hernia or something if it isn't GERD/Acid Reflux. But surely you get a lot of heartburn and pain with a hernia? Sometimes I feel a hot sensation in my chest area but it's not there most of the time.
I do notice this whole thing isn't so bad when I'm not swallowing constantly and feeling laid back, but since I'm nearly always worried about something it's always worse.
Does anyone have an idea? I'm seeing my Father's doctor on the 14th January, but I'm scared they're going to think it's all in my head too. :/
