Hi. Does your dad take Ibroprofen? I have acid reflux and a small hiatal hernia. I take Prevacid ( acid blocker) daily. The reason I ask is that 2 years ago I have Valley Fever and was taking Ibroprofen daily ( prob. about 1000 mg a day!). Well, at that time, I was not taking my Prevacid as I should and I developed pain in my chest, just left of my esophagus. They thought it was due to the VF as I had a very tiny lung nodule in my left lung but felt that the pain was too bad for something that small. Well several CT scans, chest xrays and even a PET scan, nothing helped. Finally, I went back to the doc and they had me drink some type of "cocktail" they called it. I think it had Lidocain in it...anyway, within about an hour, the pain stopped. I went to my GI, stopped the Ibro and take my Prevacid daily. Also, I, too, am prone to anxiety and have been diagnosed as a clinical depressive ( first episode at age 9!), so I take .5 mg Klonapin twice a day, which seems to help.
Hi Just a thought
i have heard many times of people who end up getting their gall bladder out after many years of sudden onset pain They have sought opinions from doctors and all test results can be normal This actually happened to me and a friend
they thought at first mt firend may be having heart problems It took them 18 months to take it out but no problems since he has
