Hi Vicky,

I too have a hiatal hernia..my pancreatitis has all but stopped

these days, but I still have bouts of the same type of pain that

only lasts for a few seconds..the problem being is that this happens

every time I take a sip of hot or cold drinks, and hot or cold

foods. My GI said that it was more than likely my oesophagus (sp?)

expanding and constricting, and that they didn't know why it would

be doing this.

I had an update with my PCP and told her about it also. She said

that there is a nerve that winds around the esophagus, and that it

could have been damaged during all of my pancreatitis attacks, just

making it more sensitive. She said she had another patient with

similar problem, and prescribed her with a blood pressure pill,

which also acts as a calcium channel blocker, because calcium goes

up and down the digestive tract and that worked for her other

patient. The downside is that it can cause my blood pressure to

lower and if I start to feel dizzy or fatigued, I'm to stop it

immediately.

I am a bit hesitant to use it because I've heard so many bad things

about blood pressure tablets. She gave me a month's trial, and to be

honest, I actually forgot I had them in my bag..guess it's worth a

try though. One would think my GI would have known this as a

possibility.
