I recently had a endoscopy, with a 48hr bravo ph monitoring test completed a few weeks ago,
the results showed a I have a sliding esophageal hiatal herina with non acid reflux, I have been taking 20mg of Famotidine 1x a day for approximately almost a year, with tums, rolaids when needed to calm the heartburn with seems to help, due to the fact that I was having heartburn pretty much everyday before I started the Famotidine.
My question is,
I've been having esophageal spasms pretty much every day throughout the day since the endoscopy, along with chest pain, heaviness in my chest, shortness of breath, which is creating alot of anxiety, which I'm sure isn't helping the spasms.
When I have the spasms, I don't feel acid coming back into my esophagus, but I do have shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, it feels like something caught in my throat.
Also on two separate occasions
I couldn't swallow or breath for what seemed like a few seconds or so, once I drank some warm water, that seem to relaxe my throat enough to swallow and catch my breath again.
My question has anyone else experienced the same non acid esophageal spasms with shortness of breath, if so is there a medication maybe you take that helps without a ton of crazy side effects that will calm the spasms down?
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
