[vickyxoxo]

hi all, i'm having a complete nightmare at the min so gonna have a moan and see if anyone can help!!
I have this horrid lump in my throat that just wont go it feels like phylem (sp!) but it wont go down or come up and had it about a month now, also i get this sort of pulsating in my chest/neck it almost feels like my heart is having an epi fit, but dont think it is my heart. I saw my GP when it first happened and he said it is reflux and anxiety, i've suffered anxiety attacks and its not that!! i see that it could be acid reflux but everything i eat brings it on and now i just dont wanna eat as i'm scared how bad it will get! i also told my MW and she just said keep takin gaviscon but i'm over dosing on them lol and still no help!! Now to top it off my cold has got really bad and i just feel really down and scared if lil man comes along now i wont be strong enough!! sorry for being all depressed girls xx but would love to know if anyone else has had heartburn or anything like this

Thanks xx

Hi

I have the very same thing which my GP put down to acid reflux, to me it feels like LO is kicking anything I eat back into my throat/gullet and I have had to sleep sitting upright some nights just to get an hours kip as it feels there is gunge in the back of my throat constantly....... it started at about 24 weeks.

It got to the stage that gaviscon, gaviscon advance, tums and rennies as well as other folks reccommendations of milk etc....all did sweet FA for me and I was at my witts end with it and knackered from lack of sleep. My GP prescribed me something called Magnesium Trisilicate, it tastes vile and is the consistency of calamine lotion but boy does it work!!!!!

It's something they prescribed to preggo ladies years and years ago then stopped because of high levels of sodium in it which is obviously not good long term for your heart, BP etc.....

As your the same dates as me and would only be taking it for 3 - 4 weeks max (It has no effect on LO btw) I'm sure if you tell them how much it's affecting you and ask for something stronger they will give it to you.....?

Also I think it may be available over the counter so if you dont see middy for another week or so you could try the Pharmacy yourself first....

I hope you manage to find some relief hun, it's nasty and really depressing especially when you start to be afraid to eat for fear of the ramifications of tummy acid!

I have also suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for years and it's def nothing to do with that, I would also advise you to stay away from anything greasy/fatty or orange juice/fruit juice as these seem to be the killers!!

Chin up hun, your nearly there, we will be holding our bubbies in our arms really soon and all these horrible symptoms will be instantly forgotten!!(I hope!! )

Mine wasn't as bad as your describing but I remember the one devil food tomatoes- don't touch them, they make it much worse.

I hope you get it sorted
