Chronic Stomach Discomfort
Ok I'm sorry that this is probably the wrong category for this but I need serious help. I have been burping for 4 straight months now and have not been able to sleep well during that time. The burps are nonstop. My stomach always tightens up whenever I eat something; the best way I can explain it is

Part three. Useless GP visit follow on from Manchester
What can I say? As bad as expected?. Not received either the barium meal REPORT nor four page letter according to him. I gave him my copy. He glances through it. I say anaemia would tie in with my increasing tiredness and lack of energy to do minimal things. He looks at his screens, flit back and forth

Help - I'm Newly diagnosed June 2016
Here is a whole new world I knew nothing about until the last few days . After a lot of pain, a lot of unknowing thinking I am a hypochondriac , little help from my GP - it took two trips to A & E for someone to finally listen to me . I got Pneumonia last September, got very sick with it and eventually

Trouble swallowing
I have dysphagia, shortness of breath, sore throat, itchy painful ears. A feeling that my throat is constricting and pain in my chest I know is costachondritis, I also have acid reflux, incredibly painful heartburn. Also I have dizziness when I bend over and stand from bending to the point where I crashed

Went to Manchester to see the Prof on Wednesday...
Hi All. Well, here I am, back from the MRI in Manchster. Bit daunting at first, small entrance, millions of people but Rhuematology and the Lupus centre were a walk away from the masses. We entered a quiet side clinic which was all calm and serene. The first thing I noticed as we approached the reception

Could I have advice!
My throat always feels awful, and there's a lump always I always thought it was a tumour, but that's me overthinking I'm just so scared, just I got tested like a swallow barium and a us scan but I'm still feeling this and feeling really upset because I think I'm gonna stop breathing and death scares

Pre Scleroderma Confusion
After alot of back and forth I have recently been told I am "pre-scleroderma" whatever that means. The rheumatologist wasn't exactly clear about any of it and the reading I have done is just confusing me more and more. Can anyone spell it out simply for me please... I originally went to the doctor with

Sjorgrens. Do you have swallowing difficulties?
Hi. Continuing my search for answers. I still have no feeling beyond my throat. Pharynx? Do you have this? Is it called a thickening? How do you cope with it? I still feel unwell. My face is covered in spots which I cannot clear despite all the adverts cures etc. I drink at least 10 pints of water

Another update
Saw my rheumatologist today, confirmed I have CREST, got to have barium swallow to see what damage has been done to my oesophagus & may need referral for lungs, but apart from that, I'm doing fine.

Swallowing trigger for atrial arrythmia
About 20 years ago I battled atrial ectopic beats and some afib. All the tests were negative so it remained a mystery. The one thing that made me unique was the fact that every time I swallowed, the normal rhythm was disturbed by pauses and ectopic beats. Occasionally this resulted in a bout of afib.

Total LAVH hysterectomy with adhesiolysis - still in pain
Hi. I hope someone can help me. I had decades of pelvic pain which was helped by my taking the combined pill in my 20s (not allowed it post 30 due to migraines....). I had several pelvic ultrasound scans which didn't show anything untoward and a laparoscopy in 2007 which showed no signs of endometriosis

Advice please
Hi. I'm new to the group and looking for some advice please. I've had various hypo symptoms for a very long time but have put most of them down to stresses of everyday life. I started having problems with swallowing and was eventually referred to ENT. Had an ultrasound which revealed a 5cm nodule on
