Reflux - Dizzy And Another Fill

[Mita 2]

Good news is the Doc does not think the burning sensation I have is reflux since I do not feel it anywhere below the collar bone. But alas still cannot sleep lying flat always have to be propped up so the answer to that is yes you do have reflux at night. Remedy - no eating 3 hours before bed.

On Wed's have an appt with Ear, Nose & Throat doc to address the burning sensation as well as this. I have been getting dizzy when I am standing and have to kinda watch my balance. Doc say inner ear infection - So I was put on Zithromax till my appt which works for me.

Got a fill cause I was eating everything I could.. Anyway I am at 1cc's and hopefully will not have any other problems. Such as my Lymph Nodes swelling to the size of grapes this past weekend.. Doc Says sinus, So thus the reason to see the ENT get it all done with one doc..

It's all so perplexing, so I'm looking forward to hearing what your doc reports. Let us know soon, okay?

Mary,

please keep us posted on this. The dizzy thing has me concerned.

Can you give some graphic details on the burning in you throat?? does it happen at night, in the day, after everything you eat, only after certian foods, those kinds of details.

So the doc said you do NOT have reflux and yet, you have to sleep propped up on pillows?

I hate hearing that you are going through all of this - Hope you get over it soon.

Day 2 of my Medication and the burning is gotten better and do not have the dizzy feeling when I stand up.

Paula he says that usually heartburn or reflux is felt from the tummy up thru the esophigus and my burning is in the back of the throat. And he says the reason or what he thinks at night what happens is I still have something in my pouch when I lay down is what is coming up.. Crazy but reflux I say is the word for it.. There is no certain food that causes it, I could be in between meals or take a drink of Water and It will come on.. I will chew tums or even take a pepcid and it does nothing for it.. It is like when you are getting a real bad sore thoat and it burns. I say that somehow it is related to the Sinus drainage down my throat.. But who knows

I just hope the Doc is gentle with me tommorrow cause last time he stuck this big old needle in my nose.. Must have been a good 6 inches:(

As for the feeling dizzy - Have you ever tried on someones glasses or if you wear glasses for the first time. Your head kinda swoons? That is how I was feeling.

It was not all the time but enough to have me worried. Hopefully we can come up with a reason, But I do think it is the middle ear or crappy sinus again Just attacking me in a whole new way.. If it was not for this problem I would say I feel great..

Paula how are you doing with your reflux???

Back from Appt with ENT Doc. Well he put the mirror down my throat and says he does not see anything and I should not worry. He believes even though I do not feel the reflux ,it is some sort of reflux. I am to try Nexium for 2 weeks and go back and see him again. He also thinks the swelling is a sore throat from a virus. Anyway I was relieved that he said my throat looks normal.. Thank God I was worried

So here we go again with reflux medication

So far no problems with my fill so we will see what happens.
