When are your specialist appointments? Bring them forward if you can. Ring & leave a message. They do monitor their phones even tho on holidays.
If you have a history of reflux, @ChezaH - put a brick under the two top legs of your bed. The slope is almost negligible and will not interfere with your sleep. Stomach acid CANNOT GO UPHILL. This will prevent it from 'rising in your throat' as you sleep - and may even help heal any damage from previous stomach acid/reflux. We do this on our bed as hubby had massive reflux 10 years ago (with projectile vomiting that looked like French Onion Soup .... very dark & slimey.) Are you burping? Foul smelling burps? If 'yes' - it is fermented gas from your stomach contents and it needs investigating NOW.
I would be requesting an 'uppie & a downie' asap (if you haven't had one in the last couple of years) to rule out anything sinister - and also just to have a record of it 'as it is now' for future reference.
Take care xx
Morning Update for you and thank you for all your concerns.
I
had my gastroscopy and a biopsy has been taken and waiting for the
results.After the procedure the Dr said everything looked fine and he
didn't find anything of concern to him ,I had a whole heap of bloods
taken so waiting for the results as well.
Sorry I was rather slack, but you get to the stage of not another problem. now just have to wait for the results.
Thanks again Cheryl xx
