And here I thought I was getting better..! I've been trying to wean off PPIs lately because I think they've been making me feel worse. It seems I was right! After a few days of horrid acid "rebound" I've been virtually symptom free, with a little help from some hypnotherapy. All except for something very, very scary.
I've got an awful lot of gas still, and it causes some very throaty burps all through the day, even when I first wake up, sometimes leaving a strange taste behind. Trouble is whenever I belch I suddenly get a sore, dry throat and become VERY short of breath, which causes palpitations. Furthermore if I try and take a deep breath I feel like I'm inhaling something small. Often it makes me cough or feels like something's gone up my nose. Worst of all, if the belch is large enough I get a burning sensation in the back of my neck and face and my tongue hurts. Eek! I don't usually get heartburn and I know what my usual indigestion feels like, so...
Seems my symptoms have become very different again! Can all this be anxiety too? I hope I'm not in danger of damaging my throat or lungs right now..!
