Hi,

I had an Endoscopy yesterday. My throat was alittle sore but I was able to eat some soup with no problem. This morning when I woke up. My throat REALLY hurt. Not like a sore throat,,but like pain when i touch the outside of my throat. I figured it was the large scope. I had oatmeal and toast for breakfast. No problems there. Then this evening I starting getting chest pain (have had my heart checked) and indigestion and major nausea. I took carafate and an extra nexium. I usually only take 1 in the morning but since I have asthma my dr. told me to add an extra one in the evening before dinner. I can't remember having this problem in the past with EGD. But it's got me scared. Has anyone had these problems??? Since I just had my gallbladder out 4wks ago coming this friday. I heard that bile reflux would get bad. My dr. told me after he did the EGD yesterday everything looked fine. Maybe he did something that is causing me this much pain. I figured that would have happened yesterday or this morning. Any help is appreciated.

    I'm afraid I can't give any advice or help but I just want to say I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I hope it eases and that everything settles down soon.
