update on hospital visit

[hilary77]

Hi everyone first of all I would like to say thank you to everyone for your good wishes, it was very much appreciated.

Good News! it’s not cancer, the consultant put sprays up my nose & inserted a camera on a wire which went down into my throat yuck! he said he saw mucus in my throat but nothing to worry about.

He says I have Silent Reflux which explains too much mucus in the throat trouble swallowing waking up during the night feeling like I’m going to choke.

I asked what about the eye swelling & he asked if I get migraines? which I do he says I need to see my GP it’s the migraines causing the eye to swell.

He blamed the nose bleeds on the nasal sprays that I’ve been using he said they thin the lining of your nose.

He also mentioned nasal drip?

He gave me a leaflet for SR, low fat diet, no food within 3 hrs of bedtime etc etc he didn’t mention medication? I have an appointment with the respiratory nurse on Thursday, so I will know more then.

I am so relieved at least I have explanations. I Just need to get my balance problem sorted now.

Thank You! all so much what a great bunch of people you are ❤️

PS: I slept like a log last night

Kind Regards

Hi Hilary

Same here, throat clearing forever, feeling sick coughing, script for 40mg Nexium a day.

Requested ENT appointment, had it 2 weeks ago as I had NEVER had one before.

Result - the doctor rang and told me to take another 20mg as I have severe Reflux. !!

Great improvement.

Like u , I have learned so much from this Forum, and it has given me the insight to mention other diagnostic avenues to explore such as recently the ENT appointment.

We have to b proactive with our own health issues.

Delighted with your news.

That’s brilliant news Hilary. The dr seemed very thorough. I have post nasal drip all the time and it’s horrible but I don’t have any meds for it.

So glad you've got a diagnosis now and your condition is treatable
