Hi all and thanks for reading! Back in January 2019 I was prescribed PPI's for terrible reflux and right sided pain just under the part of the rib before it curves around. A month on these and I felt better, pain gone. HPylori test taken 10 days after stopping treatment and negative. Pain and reflux came back within a month so fast forward to now a year later and I am still on PPi's esomeprazole. I have had a barium swallow which on the doctors notes was 'remarkable' with only a slight acid spill. I cut out coffee for months but now allow myself one a day. Symptoms seem to flare up with wine and caffeine so trying to lay off both. Reflux is okay but the pain keeps coming back. I have quite a bad fear of choking so at the minute an endoscopy is out of the question. Recently started taking zinc l carnosine after reading research on this. I also have hashimotos so really want to come off the PPi's as I am up taking tablets hours before I can eat. My question i suppose is , has anyone had similar situation to mine?

You need to make sure that you have acid reflux and not bile reflux.
Has an endoscopy been suggested? You can be sedated for this investigation .
Is there any other option you can take apart from an endoscopy. I found it to be barbaric even with sedation.
I would be asking for an endoscopy so things are checked out correctly.
I have had quite a few of them amd with sedation I don’t remember anything about them.
Not what you're looking for?
