    My symptoms started 2 years ago. I also have several pain when I swallow. I think mine has to do with a hiatal hernia and loose Les. I'm having 80mg of tecta every day. You should consult a surgeon like I am..

    I feel your pain.this

      Yes. Know I must return to Gp.  I am sure she will send me for endoscopy.  Had 2  endoscopes about 5 years ago.  Things must have changed.  Thank you for your input.  Just wanted to make contact with someone with similar problems.
