I have a history of abdominal problems and reflux, had many tests and all that can be found wrong is a small hiatus hernia. I fully admit I suffer with health anxiety BUT I never did until all these problems started nearly 2 years ago. I’ve been suffering the last week or so with awful burning up through the centre of my chest that spreads out across upper chest and up to my neck it comes with pain by breast bone too. It’s pretty constant and intense and to be quite honest it scares me. I’ve been to docs who says it’s reflux but I’ve never had reflux like this before, never had the awful burning like my whole chest is on fire. My reflux meds do nothing and I’ve been drinking the gaviscon too which doesn’t help much. Am I right to be scared? I hate this and I’m really struggling right now to think sensibly. If it was reflux surely the meds would work? But if it was my heart and it’d been hurting for a week wouldn’t I be dead by now? Sorry to ramble but I can’t stop thinking about all the awful things it could be 😔
Also I should add I was given domperidone to try fir a week but leaflet has put me off as it says there’s an increased risk of heart problems and sudden cardiac arrest! I’m too scared to take them 😔
