hey guys. i've been having a very sharp pain when swallowing or breathing in deeply. i'm not stuck, it's been like this for 2 days. anyone have any idea? slippage? its keeping me awake at night as well...

well i guess no one had any insight for me. i went to the doctor today, spoke with the fill nurse about my dilemma. haven't been able to drink water for the past 3 days...told her about my throwing up dark brown acid tasting fluid...reflux in the middle of the night. she spoke with the dr, and he said i need to come in tommorrow morning for an emergency EGD scope test. he thinks i might have erosion . he prescribed be cerafate suspension ($260), and protonix($162). my appointment today cost $200, and the egd is gonna be over $1000. i was self pay, and i still don't have insurance. i'm a single college kid with 2 jobs. this is turning out to be the worst news ever! i hope i am not eroded...she took out all of my fluid today, i'm completely open...which is nice to be able to drink. i just can't afford a removal surgery. i hope this all works out.

That sounds awfful. Sorry you are going through this. keeping my fingers crossed that it's not too serious and that it's a simple fix.

Oh wow, that is awful! I hope everything straightens itself out and you are feeling better soon.

Let us know how it goes.

hope everything goes well!

I hope you get good news from the EGD--what you're experiencing sounds miserable (and expensive)!

Yikkes! Hope you feel better soon.
