CONSTANT GAGGING/CHEST PAIN/CHEST TIGHTNESS & MORE

Posted , 3 users are following.

I was hoping maybe someone could help me. It all started a few months ago where I occasionally maybe once a week had a gagging sensation after a meal. It would go away after an hour or so and I would be fine. The past two weeks has been HELL for me. It began one day after I had a quesidilla and iced tea. Within 20 mins the gagging feeling came back only this time it did NOT go away. I went home and layed down thinking it would pass but it did not. It occured for 3 days and finally on the the 3rd day I threw up and it went away. However shortly after that i had a feeling of something stuck in my throat and numbness for a good week or so. I went to the DR once for gagging and he gave me naseua medication (forget the name) I also was prescribed Amoxcicillan CLAV 500mg i believe. None of this helped so I went back to him 2 days later and he said I should try nexium. I did and it didnt work. They did blood work and everything came back normal. I tried to tell myself i would get better but nothing was working. A day later it kept feeling like something was stuck in my throat but I felt like I couldnt breathe. I went to urgent care and the lady said my throat was irritated and prescribed me oral predisone. Took that for two days and guess what? IT DIDNT WORK. Two days later I find myself in the EMERGENCY ROOM. They ran tests like a cat scan & XRAY and they found nothing. They injected me with a steroid which helped for about a day or so and then this is where things went downhill. NOW CURRENTLY for the past week my chest has been tight and I have been in severe pain. And the past 3 days I got this gagging feeling back in my throat as well as tightness. its seriously affecting me and I CANT TAKE IT anymore. I ALSO have bad anxiety but if this was anxiety related I feel like It would have gotten better already. I went back to the DR and he told me i could have acid reflux which i already figured. He suggested I get a scope done. my only concern is they will find nothing and i will have no hope. I also tried a different form of prilosec for my reflux and it did NOTHING for me. The past week I have not eaten anything and ive been so sick. IF anyone knows whats going on with me please help.
