Has anyone had an endoscopy? I'm going to get one tomorrow and I am kind of scared. Does it hurt?

I seem to have had reflux for years, but the burning symptom is often missing. but recently it's been getting worse. I thought I was having a heart attack one time and I sometimes feel there's heart palpitations. there's also pain left and right in my chest and stomach pain. Normal?

Hi! So I’m looking for people to chat to about supposedly ‘random’ stomach and GI issues - I’ve been passed around to several different doctors for the past four years and no one seems to know what’s causing my problems. My symptoms include: - bloating - both lower and upper abdominal pain - GERD - heavily varied bowel movements (I can have three completely different stools in one day, some are very solid, some quite loose etc) - nausea - lower abdominal cramping leading up to a bowel movement - struggle with weight gain So far all I’ve been told is that I probably have GERD (again, no official diagnosis), I have severe health anxiety but other than that I’m ‘completely healthy’. I’ve had internal and abdominal ultrasounds and a gastric emptying scan, both of which came back clear. If anyone has the same issues as me please reach out! I’m desperate to meet more people with similar problems and maybe even figure out a starting point for a diagnosis :)

I think I’m having a GERD flare up, but it doesn’t make sense because I take Omeprazole. Is it possible to have some break through symptoms?

I had quite a hard thought just now - it made me feel sad but I’m being mindful of it. I’m seeing it, giving it space, but don’t want to dwell. I thought, at some point I’m going to forget what it was like to not be in pain. My symptoms flared up and diagnosis came when I was 27, so I’ve been managing for about a year now (nearly 29). Although this was a sad thought, I just think I need to get to know the new me. Get to know how to thrive despite it - as I’m blessed to have an amazing job and support network. Anyone else ever have these thoughts?

I've been having trouble sleeping due to pain recently. Would taking melatonin help? I'm already exhausted and want to sleep, but whenever I pass out, I wake back up again due to the pain.

Hello! I have just started on a journey to understand and mend my body. I have recently been having GERD and it's wrecking my life overall with the other things I've got going on. All of this is scary and I would love to start a dialogue to make things easier on us all. :)
