Hatus Hernia

by Sitac, Oct 22, 2009 06:25AM
Around 8 months ago I had pains between my ribs just underneath. I went to see the doctor who advised me I had a cold? This has not left me since that day and now seems to be getting worse as days go by. I have had an MRI ,X Ray and blood test I also have had a Bavarian study which involves drinking white powder all of these found no problems what so ever. I also have had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy of which found I had a Hiatus Hernia. Now after taking these tests I was advised to go back to my doctor for more information. When I went back I was told that my symptoms don’t match anything she has seen before and cannot do anything else. Since then my condition has got worse I sometimes have periods of a few days when the stomach feels ok but recently have now started getting panic attacks over stupid things. Last week I was eating an apple and had a strange taste in my mouth I then started to have a panic attack as if I was going to collapse. These attacks have been getting worse and now seem to happen whenever I am out of my comfort zone. Like today I went to a shop and felt I had to leave because I was going to have an attack. Also at different times I feel nausea and also stomach problems. I have periods where I feel if I eat something I will be sick yet I feel hungry. I have tried the reflux solutions not eating before bed and have been on nexium which didn’t seem to do much for me. I also have serious fatigue, I will admit I didn’t do much exercise before but now if I walk small distances I start getting pain in my stomach or ribs. I am currently always feeling like I have no energy to do most things in life. This may be due to the fact if I was to exercise I would start getting pain so have not done much. I was always 67kgs I am now 60kgs and stay around this weight most of the time. Anybody else has these problems or can advise on anything they have had? It is getting to a point now where I am taking time off work due to panic attacks and I really would like to get this sorted out and am looking to the forums for assistance with this..
