fainting and esophagus

Am 23 years old i have been having too much pain on my throat and ears even after tonsillectomy done 3 years ago, i olso get on and off chestpain that may result to fainting for the past 2 years, my blood pressure is always above 150/90 despite taking medication, last week i was done echocardiagram and the results was normal only traces of tricuspid regurgitation was found. Am now worried what could be happening to me.

So that leads me to believe it must be stomach related, I had a biopsy done about 2 yrs ago and it was fine, but esophagus was red and sore. On a new med now for reflux, seems to be working but sometimes still I get that thud after eating. If I stay on a liquid only day, no reflux and no thuds at all. At SelmaS, what could post nasal drip do to cause thos sensation? Thanks again!

so its saturday morning and i just went to the b room and i saw kind of darkish brown like really dark brown almost black. i was just wondering if the pepto bismol could still be causing this even after about 10-12 hours after i took it last night. 1 more thing to add. im 14 yrs old, and yesterday at school out of the blue, i started feeling extremely light headed. i went to the nurse and i could feel weird tickling sensations inside of my head.

I'm new here, so I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong category etc. I'm still trying to figure this thing out! :) Okay, so basically since last fall I've been getting these strange attack things that I believe might have to do with my heart? The pain starts in my abdomen and moved upward to my neck and jaw. Radiates, if you will. It's really hard to explain. Sometimes they last a minute or two and sometimes it lasts 30 minutes.

As a result of the increased flow of blood and the resulting increase in pressure, the veins in the lower esophagus and upper stomach expand and then are referred to as esophageal and gastric varices; the higher the portal pressure, the larger the varices and the more likely a patient is to bleed from the varices into the esophagus or stomach. Bleeding from varices usually is severe and, without immediate treatment, can be fatal.

I have had and still have a hiatal hernia (acid escapes from the stomach and goes up into the esophagus). Also known as acid reflux. The symptoms are very similar to that of a heart attack and very uncomfortable. What helps me are things like maalox, nexium, tums or some form of an antacid. When you feel them coming on-sit up and if you can, try raising your bed up a little at night so the acid doesn't come up into your esophagus.

or Heart Rhythm Specialist) and Gastrointestinal Doctor and have arranged for an endoscopy of my esophagus and a check of the colon too. One does not need to have a serious GI Tract problem to have heart rhythm issues caused by it. Inflammation alone may be sufficient. These disorders are believed to have a neurological aspect. Your heart is connected to your Sympathetic Nervous System, to make your heart go faster, and your Parasympathetic Nervous System to make it go slower.

ve had esophageal mammomaphies and I have esophageal spasams and sometimes cannot swallow the food in my mouth and have to spit it out-or choke. I take Norvasc, blood pressure med to help the spasms. I cannot burp at all but everyone in my family --and friends-- have to put up with my continuous passage of gas. I also have IBS. In 2009-2010, I was hospitalized 3 times for a total of 14 days. But I found the most remarkable gastroenterologist.

Yes, I think I know what caused this (and it isn't sodium chloride or anything else in the water). You likely suffered what's known as a vasovagal reaction. Here's how it happened: Every now and then, when we swallow, something just doesn't work right - we've all had this happen when we feel something get "stuck" or get a "dragging" sensation as it passes down the esophagus.

In addition, vagus nerve stimulation by dehydration can lead to decrease in heart rate/pressure and then fainting. If this damage is confirmed by a neurologist, then vagus nerve stimulation and blocking therapy can be two forms of treatments available for vagus nerve damage and they can be utilized as per the requirement of the case. Surgical option (vagotomy) can be kept reserved in severe cases. Hope this helps.

My predominant symptom is an immediate feeling of overfullness and nausea when I eat anything. This then often triggers dizzyness, pain in my chest and back, tightening in my esophagus. My doctor recently diagnosed this as gastroparesis but could not explain why it is happening. I am not a diabetic and do not have any other of the common causes, except for prior stomach surgery for pyloric stenosis 38 years ago as an infant.

Repeating alot of tests finding nothing. The area at the bottom of my esophagus on my chest continues to swell and grow larger. I am now fainting at times after I drink Or eat. I have been rushed to the ER w/no diagnosis other then it looks like your esophagus. We have gone from one doc to another w/no success. Any ideas of what test might pick up this area? One docter mentioned possibly a paraesophageal hernia but no test confirms this.

My ut results showed I have several nodules on my thyroid and some in my esophagus it also shown I have a hernia in my esophagus an I have acid reflux.My Question is there a good chance I have cancer of the thyroid and it has spread to my esophagus? I didnt even have symptoms of acid reflux. He has put me on meds for it .

I have also experienced isolated/occasional heart palpitations that occasionally cause me to have near-fainting and I was told these were early beats and not to worry about it. I've also had symptoms of general lightheadedness, as well as shortness on breath and vision fading during heavy lifting.

I had a hida scan in 6/08 and the rate was 77% and had another one in 12/07 and the rate was 40% so they thought that it was my gallbladder and now I have had it removed and I still have the same problems. I wake up in the middle of the night sick vomiting and just plain nausea. I am on protonix 40mg 2 a day and reglan before bed. I was starting to feel much better and now I have been up all night again sick. The GI doctor said it was GERD and I will get better.

I am facing dizzyness and fainting problem for the last 2 weeks. i consulted with my dr. he says the i have swelling in my inner ear (vestabular system). he prescribed me "VOLTAGESIC 50. Diclofenac Sodium 50 mg" and "Serc®-8 or Betahistine Tablets 8 mg" tablets for 5 days. i have completed the 5 days course of this treatment. but i didnt feel any possitive effect. its same as before. (my blood suger and blood complete test is all normal and fine).

I went to the hospital for tests and the doctors said my esophagus spasmed and that my body blacked out to save me from more pain. Since then, I have felt the same pain about a dozen times without fainting. My question is... has anyone experienced something like this? and should I try and figure out if there is something wrong? Any suggestions/comments will help.

During the scope, my esophagus was torn and the MD was unable to view my entire esophagus. I went in for a second scope after my esophagus rested and a biopsy was taken (and I recieved another small tear). It was determined that I have Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE). I was told the reason I have constant heartburn is that my LES does not function and the reason I have a difficult time swallowing is that my esophagus is swollen from the EE.

Many medications can cause acid reflux, at the point where your esophagus meets your stomach is a valve or spichtner valve, this valve allows food and liquid to enter your stomach, but is not supposed to allow any acids to back up into the esophagus, Certain medications (Blood Pressure and others) relax this muscle and it stays open, when the acid rises back up into the esophagus it burns or irritates the lining of the esophagus causing chest pains that are often mistaken for heart problems.

I have been diagnosed with acid reflux (no heartburn), esophageal spasms and hypersensitive esophagus. I am currently taking prilosec twice a day and a calcium channel blocker at night for some relief of the spasms. The sensitivity seems to be getting better (I assume because the acid reflux is under control) and is limited to certain foods now. This all started abruptly - along with my first tingling symptoms in July of 2007.

Mucosa with soft pleats , that extend normally at insufflation , punctate erosions covered with hematin and hemorrhagic spots scattered in the antral part, mucosal edema and erythema of moderate level in the antrum and body. Bile reflux present. No blood in the gastric lake nor stigmata of bleeding. duodenum : normal duodenal bulb to D II.

I would definitely talk to my doctor fainting doesnt sound normal and make sure you're keeping your fluid intake up.

, because they did an esophageal dilatation (not only was my esophagus paralyzed and not working properly, it was also narrowing (I suppose from lack of use of those muscles?). If it weren't for the hiatal hernia, they say I would choke to death. Thanks to gravity for pulling all that food that I shove in my face on down to my stomach! lol! :) Anyway, sorry for getting off track.

None that are known. If it works for you, that's great!

My biggest concern is the dizziness and fainting and incredible fatigue. The fatigue has gotten worse over the years but my sleep apnea is managed well with CPAP and nothing else ever seemed wrong physically so I have just dealt with it by making sure I get plenty of rest and strictly pacing my activity level. My sense is something is not right but none of the tests seem all that unusual. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what might be up with this?
