Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Swallowing

Good evening, Dr. Grief. I suffer from IBS and often have vomiting with it, and struggle with lack of appetite and unintentional weight loss. Even the Rx Marinol and Cyproheptadine are failing after a few weeks of use. I m 5 4 @ 108 lbs today, but usually should be aroung 119. I am caucasian from OHIO. I have been Dx d with GERD,IBS, Barrett s, and a small Hiatal hernia. In the last several weeks I have been noticing an uncomfortable feeling when I swallow as if a small bubble is in my throat; like something did not go down completely. Thyroid tests have been negative. I have had 3 endoscopies and 2 colonoscopies in the last 5 years and have been through the complete battery of GI testing. As far as the labs go, I m a VERY healthy 44 yro female mother of 3, married 25 yrs. So, good grief, Dr. Grief; what s wrong with me?

Hi,


Welcome to HCM.


I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

As per your details, no findings after so many investigations, diagnosis can be globus pharyngus (no cause is detected). do continue antirefux medication, have a counselling from a psychiatrist.



Wishing you good health.
