Up again after 2 AM. My chest seem on fire and my throat is achey........dry nose and dry headacke. My eyes seem so dry too. I have taken my meds and galvascon also. They do not help much. I belch alot. Laying down makes it worse. I have had a motility dest and need surgery on 3 to 4 cm hietial hernia but surgeon will not do anything.He said risk too hight because of surgery for malrotated stomach at birth. The AFIB I had recently I think was from this pain. What in the world can I do?

    Just responded to your other post. I'd forgotten about your malrotated stomach.

    I suspect surgery would be the best option but it does depend on the state of your abdomen and the legacy of the previous surgery.

    David, I have been under a lot of stress and have constant heartburn can't eat sugars of any kind. Anything that is carberhydrate seems to be a nuisence. I did have H.pylori about 4 years ago and had a double lot of treatment because I had such a high reading the first lot didn't eradicate it. I requested another breathe test for it just recenltl aand got the rwsukts back yesterday. i sstill have the bug. Having anothger much stronger lott of antibiotics for 2 weeks andthen another breathe test 4 weekslater to see that it has finally cleared. I have founf a gastroenterologist who specialises in irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel is usually caused bysome sort of foods and stress worsens it by far  Ask for a good gastroenterologist and see what he can do for you. I had a colonoscopy and  an endoscopy andhe removed a hyperplastic polyp from the neck of my stomach and some pre cancerous polyps from my bowel. The h.pylori bacteria so he tells me yesterday is a hRMFUL CANCER CAUSING BUG nd hS TO BE GOTTEN RID OF. aPPARENTLY IT IS CONTAGEOUS AND A TERRIBLE LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EFFECTED BVY IT. hOPE THIS MAY BE OF SOME HELP TO YOU.

      It tells me not to play around and get even more serious. But, what can I do when the surgeon will  not operate. I am afraid it all will get worse the longer it is put off. Thanks for the good advice.
