It sounds like you have esophageal spasms like me! They are very painful and scary! Mine would get so intense, everything would come up… I finally went to a gastroenterologist and had an endoscopy done of my stomach and esophagus. Everyhing was normal. The doctor put me on hyoscyamine which is a smooth muscle relaxer. Works very well. They can be triggered by ice water so no ice for me..
I hope that helps. Also make sure to sit up when eating and don't lay down right after eating. I know that can be hard with fibro. I can only relax muscles when laying down so I tend to eat in bed...bad habit. Good luck
It sounds like an esophageal issue or a hiatal hernia. I’ve had both so I know from experience.
he suggested, prilosec, I think and a prescribed one, using what former Dr and a friend recommended- GI Encap, and Green papaya enzymes
