Accepted Answer

It is not feasible to allay your concern without examining you. You should consider seeing a GI doctor who can do an endoscopic examination of the esophagus, if needed.
Wish you good health!

Question 3

I've had hiccups since nov. had a ugi and i have acid reflux i've been taking tecta for 2 weeks and no relief, could something be wrong with my diaphragm?

Accepted Answer

Hiccups are not uncommon and do not always imply anything serious going on. I would advise tyou to find a better medicine(a good antacid) to control your acid reflux. There are many over the counter medicines of varying potenncies. Zantac (ranitidine) is cheaper; Prilosec is a bit more effective but also costs more. I think both are available without prescrition.

Question 4

I have fibromyalgia. i go to bed watch tv laying on my right side, i get up and get ready for bed and when i lay down on my left i am getting pain under rib area and stomach for 5-10 min with burping after the pain eases. my dr. says diaphragm spasms?

Accepted Answer

I think you had had too much air in the upper GI tract which caused the discomfort than it precipitated diaphragm spasm and burping (hiccups). Those symptoms have nothing to do with fibromyalgia.

You could have issues in lower esophagus or within stomach.  However, there is a very rare condition called "Diaphragmatic Myoclonus".  May be beneficial to see a gastoenterologist, but a neurologist may be useful in future.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

There are several possible explanations for these symptoms but the issue of chest pain with "wind knock out of me" suggest that One should see  the PCP for a Good Physical Exam, EKG, Chest Xray and other imaging/ Lab studies, if indicated. One should pay attention and have these issues resolved soonest.

Question 8

Experiencing muscle spasms under left breast diaphragm area as well as tenderness in back of upper left back, with a lot of burping.lung congestion to?

Accepted Answer

Say "pain", not "muscle spasm"; you may unintentionally mislead your physician.  Any upper abdominal pain with upper back pain radiation is suspicious for pancreatic pain.  While it can be a benign gastroduodenitis, you must not miss a more serious diagnosis, like pancreatitis, or a duodenal ulcer penetrating into the head of the pancreas.  See your physician.
