Hi guys, i know there are probably a millions and one people on here asking the same thing, but im a 22 year old male and this is really taking control of my life at the moment,
I was healthy with no problems until around November, i had acid trouble but thats it, i got given acid reflux tablets (lansoprozole), like an idiot, i was not taking them regularly.
One day i had to go to the job centre so before i left the car, i had a ciggy, for some reason, i gagged a little, (thought nothing of it) as i was walking to job centre from my car, (5 -10 min walk) My mouth felt super dry, like someone had poured sand down there, anyway, kept walking and got inside, asked them for a glass of water, made up the excuse i felt light headed so they would actually take me seriously and get me a glass, so i finished that and straight away my throat dried out, as i was walking back from the car, it was like my body took control of me and someone pressed the gag button, i started throwing up mucas everywhere, i then panicked as people were looking at me and talking and i have a fobia of being sick as it is and im not a very confident person, so when i got back to the car, i had to find a drink, i had an old can of cidar in the car, i opened it knowing it might get me to mcdonalds, took a sip and threw it, went through 2 bottles of water in mcdonalds and when i got home, i drank around 8,
then a few days later, i noticed i still had a dry mouth, but i decided to not let it spoil my day, so i went town, as i was driving back, i knew i needed to be sick, i pulled over on a hill and threw up vomit and mucas, ive been tested for diabeties, and i was given anxiety tablets, none of which worked, i have finally found a job and now im worried, i dont go anywhere without 1 or 2 bottles of water and saliva sprays, and i really want this all to be over, its hard work even bringing myself to go town or my girlfriends (even with water)
Its the only time in my life where ive felt like giving up, knowone seems to be able to help, the doctors i have seen all have different opinions, the last one thinks its a physical problem triggering a mental one, all i know is i dont want to have it anymore, i took so many things for granted before i got this and now i regret them all, ive had it every day for nearly 3 months, it seems to be slightly easier in the day at home, its terrible in the morning, i have to get up 1-2 hours before i go anywhere to let it settle, even then i need the water with me,
right now its the worse ever, i have a cold coming on and it feels like a harsh strangling or someone with a finger partially down my throat, im falling apart to be honest guys, i can deal with alot of things, ive broken bones, ive had deep cuts, but this is the worst thing i have ever experienced and it never takes a day off.
Please tell me there is a cure and thats its not just 'calm yourself down' as i have tried that, i wake up with it straight away, somedays its slightly easier than others, ive been on the stomach tablets properly now for over a month, it has helped a bit but even though i dont have acid issues now, i still have alot of gas that comes up, unfortunately another curse i have is unless it happens by total accident, i cant burp, so it can get painful bringing up the gas and then swallowing it.
