I had a private consultation with a gastroentorologist yesterday over some reflux ive had for years (treated with PPI's daily). I felt like when I tried to come off them (and couldn't) I had to go back on my PPI but then felt like food was getting stuck or causing some mild pain sensation as food goes down.
I fear that I started the converation telling him about my anxiety and health anxiety history and then felt like he might have dismissed everything and put it all down to anxiety. I did tell him about the sensation and mild pain when eating and how its intermittant. He went on to say that i need to deal with my anxiety and that "hes not worried about me" but the appointment felt rushed towards the end (45 minutes later) and now fear that he hasnt really focused on anything other than the anxiety. Part of me thinks that this is my anxiety playing about up again and surely a dr in his field wouldnt just nrush me off and ignore symptoms?
I also told him in 30 year old and have had two endoscopies and the last one being 3 years ago.
