Saw G.P. last week complaining of a burning down my throat into my chest and radiating into my upper back. For roughly 2 years I have had night time reflux waking up with a horrible bitter taste in my mouth,the odd time a sore throat on waking and have had oral thrush about 4 times over the last 2 years. I have had this burning feeling a few times before and I have daily gurling noises going on in my tummy and chest. Very occasionly like last week I felt just once or twice when I ate bread that it sat at the top of my chest and was sort of painful..as I said this has only happened maybe twice over the last 2 years and happened when I had the burning feeling down the throat. I burp a lot and get chest pain/heartburn daily I usually live off gaviscon but having recently been put on thyroid medication 3 weeks ago I have not taken any as I read it can interact with thyroid medication? The doctor has put me on 40mg of Nepramel until I get seen at hospital for the endoscopy. Now I'm delighted to be getting checked out at last but on the same hand I'm very scared and anxious of the procedure I have a terrible gagging reflex and don't know how I will be able to have a camera out down my throat it scares me. I am also very anxious and frightened of the results..I would love to hear your expriences if you have had this done..please be gentle!!
