She said it was classic GERD, although I don't have heartburn. To cut a long story short I tried 2 different antacids which helped with the regurgitation but left me with awful upper abdominal pain that still comes and goes. The lump in the throat feeling has moved to right side only, just above my voice box.
I am fed up because I have been diagnosed with acid reflux with no acid and the stomach pain diagnosed with gallstones despite no right sided pain and pain doesn't follow after fatty foods. I have never had my throat examined. I know HA means you aren't satisfied with a simple basic diagnosis but I think I would accept it if I had symptoms that made sense.
The Easter holidays are coming up and I want to relax and enjoy them with my children, not be sitting there paralysed with fear because I feel like I'm not being listened to or examined quickly enough.....
Sorry for the rant, just can't shake the fear this evening.
Wishing peace of mind to us all
