I have been diagnosed with acid reflux disease/GERD. I also have anxiety disorder. I have very weird symptoms.
I am 40mg of Protonix twice daily. My problem is though, about 3 4 times a day my chest gets these very weird pains in them. More like pressure. And this also is on my throat. They uncomfort lasts about 20 minutes all the way up to 3 hours. Also, about once or twice a day my heart feels like its skipping a major beat. But I feel my pulse and it's okay. Around 85 95 BPM. The uncomfort pretty much comes after I eat, and it feels like there is food maybe in my lower mid esophogas. But these episodes with my heart feeling like its skipping beats really worries me. My anxiety is not an issue with this problem, I am on .25 mg of Xanax Alprazolam for that. But this uncomfort is really bugging me. It also kind of goes up my neck also. Which makes me think heart attack, but I've had every test done for my heart. All my blood work is okay, and my stress echo came back good as well. I just want to know if I'm having spasams in my esophogas or something else? Please help.Also. This mostly happens at the end of the day. I dont believe it is stress related because I quit my job not too long ago, and I am okay financially. I get headaches a lot, and also strained vision.One more thing. The acid is not a problem in my stomach anymore. I do not have so called " heartburn" . The acid is kept down pretty well with the Protonix. Its the " episodes" where my throat and chest " freak out" , or spasam? And the constant feeling of something in my throat. And it is very easy for me to vomit whatever I ate, even 4 hours afterwards. I hope this is enough information for you guys. Many answers would be nice.And, also the constant pressure on my chest. I just want to know if this is gastro related or what? And if anyone has ever heard of this. It feels like I am short of breath, then all of a sudden I kind of burp, but it does not relieve the symptom.
HELP! I need to write a brief SOAP note. 30 year old female showing symptoms of acid reflux disease?
I need to use acronyms and abbreviations associated with medical terminology. The SOAP note is about a 30 year old female exhibiting signs of acid reflux disease. In addition, are there any good websites that have acronyms and abbreviaitons associated with medical terminology? PLEASE HELP This is really confusing for me. I understand some acromyns and abbreviations but some have different meanings. Thank you
