Hi, I am so confused. I began having symptoms of belching and the sense that something was in my throat back in April. I had never had indigestion present like this before. Usually when I suffered from indigestion, I would have a raw feeling in my stomach and a sense that I was hungry when I really wasn t but I didn t have these symptoms at all. So, I saw my doctor. She put me on a PPI and when I still complained, She sent me for an endoscope. I was found to have an ulcer and some mild esophagitis . I was put on a PPI and told not to take any NSAIDs which I m sure had contributed to the ulcer. I was negative for H pylori . After two months, the scope was repeated. My ulcer was healed and my esophagus was normal. The weird thing is that I continued to have that something in the throat symptom most ot the time I was taking the PPI and being treated for the ulcer and esophagitis. Once I had the second scope and was shown to have healed, I was told I could come off the PPI med. I was reluctent to do that because I still had the something in the throat feeling but I have come off the PPI now. It has been a week or two since the last PPI dose and I feel the belching coming back a bit and I regurgitate occasionally. The throat feeling is there most days. I have no problems when I m sleeping. As a matter of fact, that is usually when I get a break from my symptoms and I don t raise my bed or pillows. I wake up in the morning feeling fine and sort of dread my first meal because afterwards is when the problems begin. During the day, I often feel I have Post Nasal Drip and in fact I have been diagnosed recently with that issue. Where should I go from here? So far I ve been working with my family doctor and of course a gastrologist did the endoscope but I saw him only for the procedure. Do you/anyone have any idea what my symptoms might be saying? I just would like to eat a slice of pizza or have a cup of coffe again without fear. I slip up now and then but I ve been pretty good about my diet.
