Schadzsky's ring?

[Ryan]

I was recently diagnosed with this condition, but cannot seem to find anything on it on the Internet.

Does anyone have any experience/information on it?

I appreciate your input.

Reply to Christy about the chest pain.  Any chest pain should not
be ignored.  My mother went through two angioplasty and the last
one, they about lost her.  They said it was not her heart.  Well
it wasn't it was three blockages.  The first hospital blew it out
and put in a stint.  Well, needless to say it failed.  Finally
after my sister insisted that there was something wrong, they
finally got to the right hospital and found it.  She had open heart surgery and corrected it with a triple by pass. If it wouldn't have been for this she could have had a massive heart attack. She was in excellant health.  This is artery disease. No matter how she ate or excersized this still would have happened. It is hereditary.  Be careful and don't give up.  If you are having chest pain, go to a cardiologist and if that doctor blows you off go to another.  It may save your life.  Luckily my mother had no heart damage.  Do not make light of angina attacks. Read as much as you can about them.  Then get to a cardiologist that LISTENS!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOODLUCK.

[WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS FORUM????!!!!]

A 3 MONTH VACATION? I HAVE ABOUT GIVEN UP ON THIS WEBSITE, AND I SEE OTHERS HAVE ALSO. IT'S PRETTY REDICULOUS THAT IT HAS GONE ON THIS LONG WITHOUT A NOTICE OR EXPLAINATION. I DON'T THINK ANYONE WILL CARE IF THEIR QUESTION IS ANSWERED NOW, CHANCES ARE THEIR PROBLEM NO LONGER EXISTS!

My husband was told he had a shadsky's ring that required many visits to the Doctor to be stretched with an instrument that was very hard to swallow and really only helped him a short while. I had a similar problem with swallowing and Prilosec was the answer to my problem. If I miss one day,tho' it's back.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN - SLIGHT INCREASED SOFT TISSUE DENSITY IN THE SUBCARINAL REGION?

A hiatal hernia can cause chest pain and pain in the shoulders and arms. The Vagus nerve runs along the stomach, esophagus and the heart. It causes the pain in the shoulder and arm like with a heart attack. When the hiatal hernia is acting up, it can cause the same sypmtoms of a heart attack. Your cardiologist has ruled out heart disease. Extra heart beats are harmless. You probably are experiencing acid reflux even though the endoscopy didn't show it. You probably weren't having reflux at the time of the test. The prilosec should help. If it doesn't, there is surgery to correct the problem. Talk to your Gastroenterologist. Good luck!    Erik
