Well after being on Citaplham for six months im still suffering......... although the panic attacks have stopped.
It started with pain in my stomach and constant heartburn then I was getting metallic tasting burps. Convinced i could taste blood I was in my GP's surgery in a flash sobbing my heart out, I was convinced I had:
Hital Hernia
H Pylori
Stomach Tumour
Blockage and so on, DR put me on Omperozole been on and off them for four months the heartburn has gone but I still have this pain in my ribcage. DR sent me for a Barium Swallow which revealed Acid Reflux, why am I not convinced and why do I still get this pain in my ribcage??? Im terrified that the test missed something!!! I also had the breath test which was negative (for H Plyori)
The symptoms now are pain in the Pit of stomach, (comes and goes) Heavy Chest feeling (feels like a pulled muscle and aches more when breathing in) occasional rectum gurgling, Throat Gurgling, Stomach Gurgling Heavy Chest Feeling, Achy back I do get occasional diarreah as well. I also get an occasional lump in my throat and cold feeling in my head that runs down one side of my face and into my arm, and noticed at certain times my fists are clenched or im gritting my teeth! I should also add that just lately when I eat it feels like ive swallowed a bag of patatoes and food not going down.......
I should also mention that I have not been sick or had any black stools or lost weight. Sometimes after drinking I burp it back up, this happens only a few times a week and my symptoms disappear when I’m in bed, Strange for Acid Reflux???
I’m fed up with HA and am due to see a counsellor in Jan 08 for some CBT Therapy. Does anyone think this is just HA magnifying my smptoms or would the Barium test ruled that out? x x x x
