After reading your 1st post, I thought of something. Go to an ENT doctor to have all your symptoms checked out. They are very similar to symptoms of either esophageal spasms or LPR. From what I have read usually an ENT diagnoses LPR. As far as the esophageal spasms go, you would have to go back to your GI doc and request either a barium swallow or mammometry. I think that is what the GI doc on this site told me. I will look through my posts and I will send you the link from the expert site with their answer. I experience the spasms, abdominal pain, sore throat, stuffy nose....everything that you are going through. I understand!! I have been trying to get to this bottom of this for 2 years, hopefully you won't have to wait as long. Keep me posted

NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME. IM ONLY 18 YEARS OLD...
ONLY I SEEM TO UNDERSTAND.
Yea i seen a Gasto doc my doc even referred me over when she seen nothin was working, btu also wanted me to go to behavioral medicine for anxiety.
When the g.i doc looked down my espogaus, she didnt see anything, it looked fine..
i have a picture here of it, and my stomach that she took a pic of. everything looked fine. I still dotn no what could be wrong.
Does this have something to do with my blocked nose, im just atlost of wordz.
and would try anything to make me feel better.
It hurts so bad, when the doc cant find anthing wrong, but yet u are with ur self 24/7 and u just dont feel right.
I had no symptoms except chest pressure when I was diagnosed with my hiatal hernia and GERD. I actually have ulcers that line my esophagus and never knew that I had a problem. I would recommend seeing a gastro doc to r/o any problems with your GI tract. I really feel your pain, I have been through so many tests the past 20 months that I can't even think of everything they have tested me for. It is very frustrating but at least see a gastro doc so that you can know for sure.

THE DOCTOR AT THE G.I TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE A OVERLY SENSITIVE NERVE SYSTEM ENDING IN THE STOMACH
IM JUST NOT SURE...
Has your doctor done any testing to confirm the diagnosis of GERD? I have a hiatal hernia w/GERD that was diagnosed during an endoscopy last July. I quit taking my medications in October when they took my gallbladder out because I felt better, well by February I was in constant pain again. DO NOT come off your meds unless your doctor says so. I have a lot of the same symptoms as you, look at my previous posts if you like...they have all my symptoms, tests, and diagnoses. I am going for a repeat endoscopy to make sure my hiatal hernia has not gotten bigger and I also have to go for a 24 hr pH monitoring test. Contact your PCP and get a referral to a gastroenterologist. Good luck to you!
