i recently had an upper endoscopy because of gerd symptoms and all looked normal. dr thought it was psychological. so i stopped taking esomeprazole but now have heartburn after eating. can i still have heartburn even with no damage to the esophagus?

Question

Can barium swallow miss esophagus spasms or diffuse spasms I did it yesterday it was normally still have chest pain and throat pain, all cardiac work was fine I have GERD and taking Nexium (esomeprazole) ?

Answer 1

Yes: you can continue antacid even thoigh no structural inflmmation on endoscopy , however zantac or Ranitidine is an effective treatmeent with better saftey profile

Answer 2

Uncertain: If there is acid reluxing into your esophagus that could cause damage over time. I don't know what to say if the doctor said medical causes appear to be ruled out. This type of situation is always perplexing.

Answer 3

No: Most women who have had breast reductions will find it difficult to nurse, and some may find it impossible. There's no harm in trying but it is important to be realistic. The operation relocates the nipple and disrupts the nerves that signal the brain to produce and release breast milk when the baby sucks. Sometimes there is adequate nerve function and with persistence nursing can succeed.

Answer 4

Yes: Yes you should since most of them are 'nipple-sparing'.

Answer 5

No: During a breast reduction, it is common to have to move the location of the nipples as the excess breast tissue is removed. In doing so, the milk ducts are cut across and this makes it harder or impossible to breast feed.

Answer 6

Yes: Most women who have undergone breast reduction surgery have good preservation of breast ducts to nipples, especially in the upper half of the breast which are usually not resected. Likewise breast feeding after augmentation (breast implants) works fine as these are placed under the pectoral muscles.

Answer 7

Possible, but: There are several different ways to do the surgery, and some leave more breast tissue behind the nipple than others. It is still definitely a low chance that you can successfully breast feed after reduction.

Answer 8

Benzoyl peroxide: Most of the OTC skin products for acne are safe in pregnancy. Simple soap and water works great, as long as you understand that the high Progesterone levels in the first trimester are the cause for acne -- by the end of the third month, most major flare-ups are over.

Answer 9

Skin care: Seek the advice of a dermatologist for a good non-medicated skin care regiment.

Answer 10

Unlikely: I assume you are getting treated now. Untreated bladder infections can lead to kidney infections which can cause premature contractions. That is the reason for treating urinary tract infections so aggressively in pregnant women.

Answer 11

Not likely: If you didn't know you had a bladder infection then you didn't have a bladder infection. In other words you had bacteria in the urine without symptoms. This condition poses a potential risk in pregnancy if it develops into a severe (febrile) infection (which by definition is bacteria in the urine causing symptoms). Pregnant women should have bacteriuria treated with or without symptoms.

Answer 12

Yes: Have you had sex in ethe last month? If so do a pregnancy test and find out good luck.

Answer 13

Get off it: Dilantin should be relegated to history. It is an old drug of high toxicity and major problems with use. Talk to your doctor about getting off or at least changing to a newer and safer seizure medication.

Answer 14

Yes, hypnosis: Hypnosis would be safe for you to try. You have been posting multiple questions concerning your worries about seizure many years ago, about drug use now causing seizures, etc. So most of all i hope you do see a psychiatrist and therapist to help you with your anxiety. Hypnosis may help also, and it is safe. Please stay away from recreational drugs, though.
