Thank you for you reply. My diet is very clean,I used to compete in natural bodybuilding.I think over consumed coffee at work. I have an appointment with gasto soon as I want a confirmation of my illness. I also have an appointment with the allergist. I'm so depressed with this illness.I used to feel invincible,this illness has humbled me.My main problems are difficulty speaking & eating & spasm of my throat. Any help would be helpful.Thank you for your support,it really makes a big difference.

Hi Roland,

 

I have a hiatus hernia and have suffered all the usual symptoms associated with it over the past year or so. In August I had a manometry and ph tests done. Since these tests I have suffered the same throat problems you describe. I have had difficulty swallowing, it hurts to talk and is just generally uncomfortable in my throat. I have lost a lot of weight because of this. I saw the surgeon the other day, he wants to operate on my hernia, but won't until my throat is sorted out. He has referred me to an ENT specialist and I am having another Barium meal x ray in a couple of weeks. I have been put on Diazipam for a couple of weeks to relax my throat muscles and have been told to sip lots of water. When my throat was at it's worst, I was put on Domperidone for a while and this did help.

I hope you find some relief. If you do please let me know what the answer is!
