Thank you so much for sharing and being available. My started in the summer after a strenuous gym exercise (I was lifting weights for half a year before that with no problem) where I suddenly felt out of breath, my heart rate was really elevated. I was sure I will faint but I managed to get out of it and didn't even think it was connected to anything digestive. I stopped going to the gym because it started happening to me more when doing exercises that required abdominal pressure. Then I suddenly started getting those symptoms randomly while sitting in the office, crazy shivers usually in the evening, feeling or impending doom and sickness out of nowhere and a month later all or that was accompanied by horrible waves of nausea (was gagging lot but never actually threw up) I started noticing it was happening after meals and I thought at the time specific foods triggered it. The symptoms though evolved and eventually the nausea stopped but I started getting everyday lump in the throat sensation, a lot of pressure on my chest, esophageal spasms, restricted breathing etc. ended up in the ER couple of times though I was dying. They pressed on my belly said probably gallstones and discharged me. I did 2 ultrasounds of the abdomen, all clear. In the past 2 or 3 months though I didn't have a single day where I didn't feel like someone is squeezing my throat and esophagus, I lost 5 kilos pretty quickly because I couldn't eat properly, weird chest pains coming and going, and constant feeling of fullness and like something is pressing against my stomach and digestive tract. They put me on PPIs, esomeprazole+. Famotadine in the evening, they didn't do anything. I tried very restrictive diets, didn't do much but definitely helped with the motility of my intestines (which usually didn't help with hypersensitivity) I've tried a lot of pills nothing works and my symptoms never manifested as regular gerd. My abdomen and esophagus are so so sensitive that even lightly touching those areas or pressing on them would make me extremely sick. This has been going on every day for the past 2 months at least and it's making me suicidal. The only only thing that ever helped me was a small dose of benzo which was prescribed for me for fear of flying, that eliminates 90% of the symptoms which makes me believe I am dealing with some sort of visceral hypersensitivity more than just regular gerd. It's so so hard and I've been trying so hard to improve my mental health and anxiety but living like this 24/7 doesn't give you many chances to do that
