Pill Esophagitis?
I am at my 2 month follow up appointment and I tell the doctor that I feel like there is something stuck in my throat. She said I may have "pill esophagitis" from being on the h-pylori meds, c-diff meds and regular meds. I guess it can irritate and swell the esophagus. All I know is I'm glad my deductible is met because now I have to get an endoscopy.
I have that too from my lapband causing GERD. They did a swallow test on me and said everything was going down fine so no problem. I couldn't have an endoscope because I have bad lungs and they didn't want to put me under. I was put on zantac 3x a day and it is feeling a little better after a week of it. It sure can drive ya crazy tho!!
That happened to me a few weeks ago and felt like someone was beating on my chest. I ended up in the ER. Turns out for the first time in 6 years with my band, pills jacked up my esophagus. Oh and I had to get an endoscopy, but for surgery. Mine was done while I was awake and they went through my nose. Pretty neat.
