I went for a barium swallowing test and it showed a stricture in my throat and the GI dr widened it which solved a swallowing problem at that time. I do have an autoimmune disorder called Myastenia Gravis though that causes swallowing issues too.
You can request download of records within the menu dropdown in mychart if they don’t show up when you first login.
Most of my doctors won’t do anything about my lab results when they’re almost or are out of range unless it’s been going on for a long while. I just monitor them myself and when I start feeling bad consistently then I complain. It is what it is with these drs

Thank you for your reply. I think most doctors feel that if you’re not dying, don’t worry about it!! So I’m gonna try not to worry about it unless it gets really bad. Then I’ll talk to my family doctor.
Once again, thanks!
