Hi. Despite talking to my GP earlier this week, I am still really worried that I may have Barrett's esophagus, which is a predisposition to throat cancer caused by persistant reflux, which I have had for about 5 years. My GP didn't seem to think my reflux was very bad, and said it should only be looked at further if it occurs at least once a week. I said it didn't, but now I'm worried because I have left out my frequent feelings on gas rising into my throat often accompanied by belching, which I get very often; is this a symptom of reflux?
I am now very worried that I have Barrett's, and it may kill me if left untreated, or (even more so) that I'll die getting a biopsy to see if I have it:scared15:
So, are my fears justified, or am I working myself up unnecessarily?
