esophagus stomach and pain and palps RLR
Nov 10th, 2012, 2:05am
 
I also get the feeling that reflux and stomach or esophagus problems are involved with my chest sensations. I do think i have chest wall syndrome , anxiety like? but I notice that the pain below right ribcage and righ chest and back pain between my shoulders are increasing. also the burping and not having any taste eating. I have a full and strained feeling right from my sternum.I dont know if this pain is due to my muscles or an organ like my esophagus.
I notice that increasing pressure there evokes a lot of palps and skipped beats. and more pain..

question to RLR.

How do I know this is a benign reflux or Gi complaints and not a space occupying mass in and around esophagus?

I slowly begin to believe my heart is not the issue , but having a hiatus hernia and reflux for 17 years and now with increasing complaints there I suddenly am afraid I forgot the moest obvious thread. a problem in that region.

I know it again sounds anxious but that doesnt mean i could not have a real problem here

or can muscle and ribissues mimic feelings of your esophagus and reflux?

it aways feels sore on the right side of my sternum and right below ribcage. sometimes it feels full and dull as high as my right collarbone where it connects to the sternum

or do i have reflux and gi problems and confuse them with the pain right on my ribcage which is more muscle related?

Pain just under the costal border of the right upper quadrant can be due to cholesystitis in some instances, but more often results from chronic retroperitoneal pressure in the duodenum, known years ago as duodenal stasis. It results from gas trapped in the duodenum and can demonstrate referred pain from the sternum through to the back in a colic-like presentation. It is very common in persons with significant anxiety who are susceptible to GI involvement.

You're going to have to step away from the notion that these symptoms represent cancer. It simply doesn't work that way and I've made comment many times on the forum regarding the frank inaccuracy of self-diagnosis in the absence of the requisite clinical education and training. It's simply not possible.
