Breathless after gallbladder removal ?

[gina12]

Hello my names gina here goes my story!

I suffered gallbladder pain for 2 years vomiting fainting everyone symptom possible, I had it removed about 6 months ago they found inflammation and a polyp inside no gallstones.

3 months later I started noticing some really bad issues, I had Dirahea/symptoms of gerd like something was stuck in my throat/ shortness of breathe pain like I’m going to have a heart attack/ pain back for 4 months then started to get really bad chronic pain in my stomach, so I had a endoscope done they found bile in my stomach and my lower spinchter isn’t closing properly... they put me on nexium, gaviscon, creon, slippery elm, motilium, Esophagitis lozenges, anseptic gel to numb my throat.... NOTHING WAS WORKING! So I went for a reflux study to see if I had gerd u know because I’m getting all symptoms of GERD! they found absolutely nothing. My specialists called me the other day to tell me it’s all in my head and it’s stress related. SO NOW! I’m struggling to breath gasping for air! My nose is blocked like crazy I feel like my body is producing a lot of mucous! My days of being out of pain are endless it’s destroying my life. I can’t and I won’t live a life in this much pain! I just wish for one day only one day without pain would be a dream come true. Anyone in the same position? Please send me an email [e-mail] I NEED HELP I NEED SUPPORT I NEED SOMEONE TO UNDERSTAND!

Hi Gina,

I'm so sorry for what you're going through...

It seems you're experiencing symptoms of achalasia along with other complications.

Has the gastroenterologist observed you may possibly have a Schatzki ring? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schat...

The procedure to "pop" the scar tissue is pretty simple, and the problem may result after prolonged indigestion/reflux.

Instead of depending on many pharma drugs, you may want to try weaning them all off slowly especially while you find them ineffective and look into supplementing Betaine HCL with Pepcin (combined with Gentian Bitters) with your meals to help the food digestion. It's possible that you're not producing enough stomach acid contributing to the issue.

For your sinus mucous issue, I suggest you try Neilmed sinus rinse - it's found everywhere and it helps with allergy symptoms and flush out allergens/pathogens out of sinus. Serrapeptase may also help with the sinus mucus as well as inflammation.

I hope some of the suggestions may help.

I have lived with GERD symptoms for many years and I understand your frustration! I will email you this evening. Take heart!

Sometimes during gallbladder surgery they can damage the nerve to half of your diaphragm. This makes it harder to breathe and can cause reflex. You need a good x-ray will show the diaphragm asymmetric. I’ve seen this a few times before after 30 years of doing anesthesia.

I have had xrays done and a ecg done they found nothing, I generally believe if nothing has come up in results of having gerd then I must not have gerd? But what’s it mean with the pain is coming from under ur breast? And my rib cage and my upper back ? Could it be Costochondritis. ? I’m really thinking outside the box here... but then I think sometimes the pain is in my stomach and that’s why I can’t breath. I actually woke up with so much thrush in my mouth which has never happened so my symptoms are becoming to overwhelming to handle !
