I had the same problem. After every meal I thought I was having a heart attack and of course with that thought in mind my blood pressure use to shoot through the roof. So, I had POEM done. Chest pain gone but waking every morning with acid burning the hell out of my throat. Bad. Going for my second Bravo PH Test Tuesday which will tell them which surgery to do next. Aren't we lucky to become human lab rats?

Been to my yesterday and spoke to him and he's doing a urgent endoscopy/gastrostomy Wednesday morning and stomach scan. At least he listen to me. But forgot to mention achalasia because I had been in a previous appointment about my heart .

Antral gastritis is an autoimmune problem that can cause a lot of discomfort
The two week wait pathway means a more urgent referral so that you get seen quicker. It sounds like your oesophagus is inflamed.
These reports are written in medical language and you really need to have a doctor explain what it means to you in relation to your own particular condition. There are likely to be various other tests that they might give you along the way.

Like every other major upset we have suffered, this too will pass... I think this really is a well balanced group; so Very worthwhile being a part of it...
