Taking 20mg omeprazole last 6 weeks ,previously ranatadine .
Problem getting worse ,food gets stuck ,throat seems to spasm and food wont go up or down .
Went to A&E Monday night but managed to bring up some food on way there and some more eventually while waiting so left - horrendously crowded - without being seen .
Made emergency appt with GP for Tuesday but had to cancel because elderly mother had crisis .
Have GP appt for Monday but just hoping someone can reassure me until then .
I think I'm most scared of not being able to breathe ,so far I can ,so that's ok isn't it ?
Trying to keep myself safe - think eating macaroni cheese one segment at a time ,drinking honey and water to soothe throat ( sore after mega session on Monday ) . Have doubled omeprazole dose - says you can on enclosed leaflet .
Any advice or tips from people who also suffer ?
