Do I need to be checked out
Hi I had an AF episode a week ago and then went into fast Sinus with a heart beat of 140. 6 days later I went into Kings for a routine endoscopy for my 3 yearly verecies check for my liver cirrhosis. My heart was still tackicardic. First they could not get the camera down my throat due to severe swallowing

Anyone tried Iqoro?
I’m running out of ideas to solve my coughing caused by acid reflux. I’ve tried PPi’s over the years. Recently tried famitodine. Nothing seems to work. Gaviscon Advance helps a little. I am careful with what I eat and drink. My coughing starts after I have eaten or drunk something. Lasts about 15

Bowel obstruction after debulking surgery
I was all set to start chemo on Thursday after getting colonoscopy this morning. Unfortunately they found an obstruction. I had complete hysterectomy and debulking surgery 3.5 weeks ago. Getting a barium enema tomorrow to find out more where obstruction is. This is so discouraging as I just feel like

Barium Swallow Experience ?
Hello, I am due to have a barium swallow next week and getting a bit anxious about it. I have had endoscopies in the past, due to Celiac disease and Gastritis, but the last one made me feel really unwell, which is why my Doctor has recommended the Barium swallow. I have read up on some peoples experiences

Oy, so many on here also suffer from upper GI issues ie reflux, heartburn, gastritis and there's a pretty good treatment - Zinc L-Carnosine
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7146259/ "Here's a blurb from the article: "In an ethanol-induced gastro-injury rat model, ZnC treatment decreased the ulcer index of the rat stomach and showed a significant ulcer-healing effect similar to the gastric mucoprotective agent rebamipide [31].

Achalasia newbie
For the past 2 years I have been keeping a health diary of the number of times I threw up, wretched, gagged and had chest pains at the same time as my consultant has tried to identify what was wrong. After a gastroscopy, barium meal and my 2nd oesophageal manometries I was finally diagnosed with achalasia

Pain with swallowing
I suffer from health anxiety and depression. After being on an antibiotic for possible tick bite, I began having pain about four inches under left armpit every time I swallow something solid. This has been going on for 7weeks now. Not worsening and no other symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this

I need a rant!
WARNING: MAY STRAY INTO MELODRAMATIC SELF PITY So.....after very recently being rejected for a referral to NHS endo I have now been told that my ultrasound has been rejected too. I asked for this as I can now see a visible swelling on my neck and it would help me get a NHS diagnosis for my Hashi's.

Where to next with throat issues?
I had the results of my barium swallow and nothing abnormal was found. Despite that my swallowing problems are getting worse and I can’t bear anything around my neck because of the discomfort it causes. The ENT doctor won’t carry out any further tests, is there anything I can do to help myself?

Feeling low after docs appointment - questioning myself again
Hi all, just had a telephone appointment with doctors to discuss my Medichecks results as shown below. I don't know why being dismissed AGAIN has upset me so much but it really has. According to him this can't possibly be a thyroid problem and my high antibodies don't indicate much and certainly not

Been dealing with an issue for 14 months and can’t get diagnosed!! Opinions and thoughts needed!
Hi all, thought I’d reach out and share what I assume is a gastro-related issue that I’ve been dealing with for a while (approx 2 years), in hope to get some ideas and direction on how to get this diagnosed and treated within the NHS - because so far, with all the visits to the GP, trips to the hospital
