Hi, I started off a few weeks ago with a large tonsil ulcer. This eventually went, but others came. The Dr's were covinced I just had a viral infection and as such anti-biotics wouldn't clear it up. I was terrified it was soemthing worse as my dad died of throar cancer many years ago. I was referred to ENT specialist who put the camera up my nose and down my throat and said he couldn't see anything and thinks all is fine and tonsils don't have ulcers (although they look weird to me, but to be honest I've never inspcted them before!). I've been referred for a barium swallow x-ray to see if I have a hiatus hernia etc that may be causing acid reflux. I've researced this and it seems possible. I am very anxious, so I understand some of my symptons may be anxiety related, but I do have a bloated feeling stomach and I belch a fair bit, which makes me feel better if that makes sense? I've lost me appetite (well it comes and goes), although this may be anxiety. I can eat ok, it doesn't get stuck, but if I bend over after eating, I can feel the acid I think? Could GERD also cause the tonsil ulcers or a sore ish throat? Oh also my stomach rumbles and makes weird noises even after I've eaten. Sorry this is long, but any advice would help put my mind at ease. The ENT consultant said he was 100% nothing bad was wrong, but untl I know for sure, my mind can't settle. Thank you in advance. John.
