I have been suffering from GERD for approximately 10 years. My symptoms have been persistent and significantly affect my daily life.
I experience severe heartburn and a constant sensation of breathlessness, even with minimal physical activity such as walking or slight body movements. The breathing difficulty is one of my most concerning symptoms. I did endoscopy 4 times so far , did 24h ph test and esophageal Manometry as well my demeester score is 17 and Acid exposure time is 4.2% and Manometry is normal
I have tried multiple treatments over the years, including (PPIs, PCABs), and low-dose amitriptyline, but none have provided lasting or significant relief.
Despite ongoing treatment, my symptoms continue to worsen or remain unchanged, and my quality of life is severely impacted.
I would like to understand whether surgical options such as anti-reflux surgery could be effective in my case, and what evaluations or tests would be required to determine if I am a suitable candidate.
Over the past 3 months I had panic attacks with dizziness, chest pain, fear of death. Consulted ENT, Ayurvedic, Cardiologist, then Gastroenterologist. Endoscopy showed GERD, LPR, H. pylori. Anxiety reduced after diagnosis but intrusive thoughts began (vivid dreams/images of harming self/others, “what if” scenarios). No intent, but distressing.
Physical symptoms: chest pain, right-side neck/ear pain, one-sided head pain, fatigue, numbness, detached feeling. Labs: Vitamin D very low (14.99 ng/mL), calcium 9.9, B12 injections ongoing.
Medications: Nexito 5 mg (vivid dreams), Paroxetine ER 12.5 mg + Peelar 20 mg (worsened stomach), Magnesium glycinate (helped briefly, reduced intrusive thoughts last 2 days). Quit smoking/drinking 3 months ago.
Anxiety fluctuates; stress/news/work trigger panic (latest after office fight). Still working but fear losing control. Financial strain from repeated visits.
Which Dr to visit what to do further?
Plz suggest treatment for pinworm infection,I take Albendazole 2week , weekly but less improvement also urge morning recurrent stool pass no diarrhea
