At the ER with burning pain

[bellabloom 2,467]

Yesterday morning I all of a sudden started having burning pain in my chest and esophagus and throat accompanied by spasms in my esophagus. It's been going on over 24 hours with no relief.

It doesn't seem to be positional the way heartburn usually is. If I drink or eat it's very painful. I get about 1-2 minutes between spasms and then it burns really bad for several seconds.

I feel like an ass being at the er but I don't know what else to do. I'm worried it could be something more severe It feels like a piece of food might be stuck in my esophagus. Like my esophagus is trying to pass it down.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?? Help

Feeling a little better. On carafate and proton inhibitor and Zantac. No spicy or citrus food. I'm really hoping this goes away and I don't need surgery again!!!!

What did they say happened? Are you home or still in the hospital? So sorry you are dealing with this. I just had my surgery on Monday.

I posted a while back about being totally unable to breathe in the middle of the night http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/356905-I-will-never-eat-straight-before-bed-again%21

I try to never eat past 5pm and avoid anything dry and crunchy after midday. It was terrifying and I never want to experience it again.

I hope you can get on top of it. It is strange it has only just started now, so far into your journey.
