Hello All
Long story short well here it goes
In July 08 I was having panick attacks this all started by a stomach ache accompanied by diareahh and metalic tasting burps and a pain inthe pit of my stomach that would not go away accompanied by a CONSTANT lump in my throat, was told I had gastritis and took a month worth of Omeprezole. This helped with stomach ache a bit but the lump in the thraot was constant. This lump has now dissaperad not sure if it was anxiety or Gerd.
Been back to the GP at least 7 maybe 8 times as I want to know whats wrong with me and although my GP is excellent I cant belive anything he says. He has examined my tummy on a few occasions. CBT therapy has not helped me.
After going back (ps been taking Citroplam for my anxiety since July) as I was convinced I had a hital hernia etc etc my GP sent me for Barium swallow to ease my mind about the throat and heartburn etc - I have been heartburn 3-4 times a week and according to DR Google I was convinced.........
Barium Swallow showed 'Reflux Only'
Im still taking omperozole once a day, This has banished ALL the heartburn but now i get the following:
Regurgitauin of food sometimes after I eat (worse after big meal and when I bend forward)
Excess Burping
Flatuance
Churning Sounds in my stomach
Excess gas
3-4 Bowel Movemnets a day - Mostly lose
Rectum Gurggling
Throat gurggling after I swallow liquids
Bloating feeling
Pain in my chest - Heavy achy feeling and hurts more when I breath in (no cough or anything tho)
Sorry to bang on but I have been suffering since July im terrified the GP has missed something, I spend half of my life obsessing whatis wrong with me, Im so scared.
Im 27 healthy otherwise although im overweight 5:1 weigh 12.5, Smoke only 3-4 a day.
