Inability to Belch With Terrible Pain Posted: 05-18-06 11:29am
A few years ago I developed acholasia,
wich is a closing of the esophagus. I had
surgery to correct the problem but I had
an underlying problem that I cant seem to
get diagnosed correctly, it comes in
waves, I have a few weeks where I am fine
then all of a sudden I am woke up in the
middle of the nite with an intense
pressure on my diaphragm and I need to
belch but cant. So I run to the bathroom
and the air tries to come up and it makes
me gag forever until a few hours later
this intensly loud painful belch comes
out, I usualy have to do this a few times
for relief and then I am ok for about half
a day. The symptoms last a week or more
and its gettin more severe, I have had
almost every test known to science with no
diagnosis and its gettin more severe. I
have been taking zelnorm because when some
upper gi tests were done I was told for
some reason I am not digesting food
properly and its givin me constipation and
bloating of the stomach. But its reaching
a point that I cant deal wth the pain of
this attacks anymore, and I have never
heard of and cannot find any information
on my symptoms, can anyone help me :?:
