Todays Gastroscopy adventure

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all are having a good day Never a dull moment. I got to have a

fun gastroscopy today to check on how my ulcer is doing. We found a hiatal

hernia, some kind of wart like thing that I guess fell off and got biopsied,

and then I hear that I need to see a cardiologist for a stress test because

of how I'm describing my chest pain....which is a cold hot burning sensation.

My Dr. said he would call me at home after performing the test, and he did

just that to give me all the information after the drugs wore off. I have

been uncomfortable for the last few months. 2 Protonix and multiple maalox

tabs

a day are just not helping. Anyway, I got some answers today. It helps that

my pcp is a gastroenterologist. I know he'll be doing a colonoscopy next as

I only have half a colon (he calls me semi colon). true!

Does anyone have a clue if this chest stuff is remotely RA related? I have

an appointment for the stress test for November 4th, and when asked for my

symptoms, the secretary made special note of RA and condochondritis, etc. I'm

just used to reciting things and handing over my medication list. LOL. I feel

like a well trained seal sometimes

Thanks in advance for your help or ideas, etc.

Heidi in Mass.
