Desperate for some help please.
I have Barrett’s Oesophagus and had this for many years. Last year I started getting central chest pain and had a CT scan which nothing significant was found.
I have kept driving my GP mad with this pain which now radiates to my back. Sometimes also a pain in the left side. It’s slowly getting worse, losing weight slowly and I’m not big to start with.
I was sent reluctantly by dr to have a endoscopy and just showed the Barrett’s. I was then sent for a Manometry which showed 100% failed peristalsis on swallows and my lower oesophagus sphincter was hypotension. I also had a 24 hour ph-impedance reflux monitor which showed acid reflux and significant aerophagia nothing else.
My consultant said it’s nothing to worry about and no further action. He said the chest pain is not related as the oesophagus cannot hurt. I think this is wrong.
I asked my GP for a second opinion but she said he’s the best and it would be a big mistake!
Any advise would be really really welcome as I don’t know what to do next.
