I don't generally have heartburn, nothing coming up into the gullet. Just an uncomfortable stomach, occasional indigestion and at the moment the lump in the throat feeling. The GP knows I am very anxious about going into hospital for any kind of procedure. She did say that now they can prescribe PPIs, that settles most people's problems therefore hospital tests are becoming less necessary. We have a deal though. If it does not settle within a couple of months then she will book me in for an endoscopy and I will go....which I will.
The trouble is I have had all these tests before and nothing was ever found. I had the breath test a few months ago for the bug thingy ....can't remember it's name H....something or another and that was clear.
This is nothing new for me, it's been going on for years and years. I go through a bad period for a few months and then I get it under control and it can go for a year or more.
I will try the new pills and see how it goes. I may well have to have the tests, but at the moment I'm resisting. I may regret it in the future but I'm on the same pills as everyone else that have had the tests and that's the treatement anyway......so
