I was diagnosed with Mild Chrnonic Inflammation ...
By: jamie.flitter | 15-08-2007
I was diagnosed with Mild Chrnonic Inflammation about 8 months ago (I guess its also called esophogitis). They put me on some sample meds for the heart burn and had me taking Gaviscon to help coat my throat after meals. After a few months it went away, though i'm not sure any of the meds helped. About 3 weeks ago it started up again. It started out as heart burn, only a couple days of it though, and worked its way into my throat. It feels sometimes like acid is coming back up my esophagus and can sometimes be hard to swallow, it can feel tight and sore. I am still trying to take Gaviscon after meals but I am not taking any meds. I work out regularly and eat pretty healthy, i'm only 22. I need help. I am not sure what to do; get a new prescription and hope that helps, or try something else to get rid of it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
