Silent Reflux as a teenager
Posted , 3 users are following.
I think I have silent reflux. I'm 17, I'm very paranoid it will become cancerous. I can relate to most of the symptoms - a bit of a sore throat, postal nasal drip (white mucus at the back of my throat) constant clearing, with a little cough. not a loud one though. I have red dots at the back of my throat, sometimes one dot may be a bit bloody. (I know this is cobblestone throat, which is completely harmless.) I suffer from extreme anxiety so I'm really scared. This has been happening for ages. 3 years? I always thought it was normal until I began googling my symptoms. I'm now scared to death, I'm trying to change my diet. - I'm no longer eating dairy. Certain food triggered my throat. Especially milk, noodles etc. I'm going to the doctors soon to explain my symptoms, hoping to get an answer. Any advice? I'm so anxious. I suffer from health anxiety. 😦 I'm just scared they'll just leave me hanging. I do not want to die 😦 It is my worse fear. I constantly think about it daily, it has made me depressed.

you really need to calm down reflux(IF that is what you have) is harmless. lots of people have it. you need to start some kind of relaxation techniques or therapy to stop being so paranoid.
