A member asked:

I have had facial flushing for the past 6 months. gall bladder removed 1 week ago. flushing still, pain in mid back. palpitations. no carcinoid. help?

Check esophagus: You may want to ask your doctors about esophageal spasm. You would need high resolution esophageal manometry and maybe an upper GI contrast study to find out. At least you know it's not the gallbladder.
