Problems With Esophagus
· Bdumont · 01/29/12 03:35 PM
About 2 weeks ago went back to my doctor and he was going to do a fill but wanted to do it with the xray swallow test. When I swallow that white stuff my esophagus did nothing. Did not spasm like it should and when the liquid got down to the bottom, just before my stomach my esophagus expanded. Since then I have realized that it is not normal for phlem to come up while I am eating (not food). I just swallow and continue to eat slowly. I went on the internet and it seems to describe what is called dysphagia.
I had an upper Gi endoscopy and it show everything is ok except there is a little irratation at the bottom of my esophagus and the doctor has prescriped Nexium (2 a day for 2 weeks and then after that 1 a day). He did take some biopsies of a few things in the bottom of my stomach but said he is sure they are nothing to worry about, the were very small.
Has anyone had and problems like this. I haven't been on this blow for more than a year and I hope that I can get back to find out what anyone says about it. But please give me your input.
Thanks a million.
