Severe pain in esophagus
Posted , 5 users are following.
I have sojgrens and polymalgia Rheumatica, I also suffer from acid reflux but have controlled it for 25 years with prilosec. I have diabetes. I have had sojgrens and pr for about 14 years but was misdiagnosed so many times by many doctors. Discovered the real cause 4 months ago when had a really terrible flair of both and was tested. I am in resmission according to blood test at this time. Ever since that bad flair I have had pain in the center of chest and center of back. Muscles very sore. At times if I slump over (like at computer) or after I eat I have a stabbing pain in my esophagus and feel like it spasms all the way from center chest to my throat and jaw. Pain is severe last about 3 to 5 minutes. Afterward I am so sore in my chest-back I can not wear a bra. Muscles very sore. Blood pressure rockets to 200/100 pulse 114. I often strangle on water. This is unlike any acid reflux I have ever expericenced. I had a stress test and heart cath less than a year ago any had no problems. Do not feel it is heart related. Seeing my doctor tomorrow will ask for a endoscopy. Sometime my breathing seems labored esp. when I wake up at night.
Has anyone else expericenced this kind of symptom from Sojgrens?
Pain and soreness to just too much. Something has got to give on this. I am trying to watch what I eat. My acid reflux was always caused not by food but by medicines (prescriptions & OTC) I am on predinsone 11 mg and slowly continuing to reduce every two weeks. Want off presdnisone. Would like to be put on something else when I am off prednisone. I understand if I try to change in middle of prednisone to another it will often cause a flair. Any advice? This chest thing is really bad!!!!

I'm sorry to hear you have been having such a ruff time with the awful condition, I also have acid reflux, but I don't have quite as much of a problem with my throat, although when taking my meds I do have a problem with swallowing them. I do hope that your GP " can help you find a remedy for these frustrating symptoms. ASAP.
