Hi. I've just been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and wonder if anyone else has the same type of pain. Its a severe crushing pain but its accompanied by a sort of vibrating feeling and a noise that can be heard across the room! Sounds daft, I know, but its really distressing. Doctors just seem to ignore this aspect. I've also got something called Barretts Oesophagus, where my gullet has been damaged by the acid reflux over the years.

I had an endoscopy and although its not pleasant, coped well with just the throat spray.

    hello you're not alone I have the crushing feeling and the vibrations but not the sound, it;s hell at times, I constantly am aware of the pain and lansoprazole not helping at all sad

    hi - thanks for replying. I've only been on the lanzoprazole for a week so its early days to say whether its having any effect. Haven't had the pains (but have had the vibrations!) Do you find you're worse when eating out or with other people? I'm sure because i stress out about it happening in front of others that automatically makes it worse.

    Hi,

    I've just found this site after being diagnosed with a slider and a case of Barratt's, my symptoms are very similar and the noises are surprisingly grim, I sympathise! I thought I was having a heart attack when mine first hit, ending up in A and E with a jab of morphine for the pain! That was the only good bit.

    I'm on a treatment called Pariat which helps with the acid but I find that stress and the worry of reoccurrences tends to start things bubbling. I've stopped drinking and rarely socialise now as I get really embarrassed. Restaurant food is just too rich for me. Oh well, what next I wonder?
