An endoscopy I've had planned has been delayed, and I've been instructed to stop taking a PPI Lansoprazole. All the while I've been feeling worse, and I no longer believe this is anything to do with anxiety as I've been feeling a lot happier lately and been receiving CBT, Hypnotherapy and more besides. I have:
- A tight chest like something is sucking my body inside.
- A tight throat, and a feeling my neck needs to click back in place. It can make it feel difficult to swallow my own spit.
- Wake up with a sore throat daily, but it goes away with any food or drink.
- Excessive mucus; there's an usual taste in my mouth which I assume is from the post nasal drip. Sometimes I need to cough it out but my throat isn't hoarse.
- Occasional ear, arm and chest pain.
- Frequent Migraines which are no longer relieved by my usual medicine.
- Feeling of liquid in the throat and "vurping." Nothing that really burns, it just feels like I'm bringing some liquid up when I belch.
- Weakness and fatigue, especially in the head and legs.
- Palpitations and a feeling of not getting enough air. Tends to happen more at night or when sitting down.
It sounds an awful lot like a hiatal hernia to me, but since I've had it for so long I keep wondering if I'm in for some surgery or a liquid-only diet? Has anyone else here had such a condition, and if so does it ever go away with or without surgery? :(
