Well FOUND OUT Why Having Barium Swallow

8 Replies

Had interesting chat with my GP and he told me what E.N.T Doctor had seen with throat endoscope thingy had done.

Well he called it RING Something and thats why barium swallow.

Just wish i could remember what doctor said about ring thing was/called but sounded like diaphragm but only thing i was sure of was ring something.

Anyway my GP said he had never heard of it SO guess all find out on 27 or soon after.

Hi Sassy think I might need it .... but in all honestly dose fill you with dreed fear AS having lung condition then needing other none related lung procedure.

Defo agree will know more on 27

They looked for that in me when I kept having swallowing problems. Cameras, barium swallows 24 hour acid monitors, pressure tests. All agony with bronch in the picture.Didn't find anything except a very poorly and damaged eosophagus. No apparant cause. All this at very expensive private centres and consultant. Finally my eosophagus split as a result of a bolus. Rushed to Warwick hospital, given lanzaprozole dispersible. Sorted! I hope that they sort you out if you do have a Shatzki ring. Keep going Jeff you are a star.

Hi Littlepom sounds like you defo had time of it too.

When I swallow is feels like my pipe is going to split BUT that's mainly bread but more recently big antibiotics have been getting stuck too.

Sorry to read about your eosophagus issues and thanks for reply share ;)

Not what you're looking for?
