Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yes I have esophigeal varicies. They found them two years ago in an endoscopy. My are also between 2-3. They put me on Nadolol which is a beta blocker used to treat high blood pressure. I already have low blood pressure so it took me awhile to get use to it because it caused me to be tired. My GI now has me take it in the evening. This summer I started having esophigeal spasms. I usually get them in the evening and sometimes it even causes shortness of breath and chest pains. Someone on this sight told me eating cold food and drinks make it worse.They are checking them every year and said if they get bigger they will have to tie them off.EllenExcelsior Springs, MO - UC & PSCTo: Sent: Friday, February 6, 2009 9:46:43 PMSubject: esophigeal varicies Does anyone no about these, they found some on me in an endoscapy they were between 2- 3 the dr said.
