Gastroscopy

[ShaneWarne]

Hello everyone,

I am having this heart palpitation after eating a meal from the last 7 months now. Cardiologist checked my heart (ECG,ECHO, HOLTER) everything came fine. Went to gut specialist and he requested a gastroscopy to see my oesophagus ,stomach and duodenum.

Went for gastroscopy today and the oesophagus and stomach is totally fine (no ulcer or anything) but the endoscopist couldn't find duodenum :O. She was saying there must be an unsual anatomy and told me that specialist will look into this. I don't know if she was a newbie OR there is something going on with me.

Has anyone come accross something like this?

It would be good to know your underlying background. Are you oesophagectomy patient?

From your posts, I cant read if you have been oesophageal patient, but your post in at least 6 different sub forums asking same thing.

In oesophageal patients who have undergone surgical intervention, mostly get a group of symptoms after meals and it is called dumping syndrome.

Gluten, lactose, sugar intolerance also sometimes develops post surgery and causes dumping. And anxiety doesn't help either.

I had that, turned out to be dumping syndrome. It happens as a side effect from surgery. Ask your doctor about this possibility.

I believe you are entitled to a second opinion and you should ask for one.
