I always have been extremely healthy and athletic. I've been struggling for two years now with almost unbearable symptoms. I first noticed them only after a night of really heavy drinking... I would feel extremely faint and almost pass out, my chest was extremely tight and I could barely get words out (extremely hoarse voice) This only happened later on the next day after drinking (no symptoms while drinking or anything) and would last two or three days. I would feel extremely exhausted and unable to get words out... extreme pain in lungs and cough. Feels like intense squeezing on my throat and a big lump, and pressure in my stomach pushing onto my lungs. It feels like I need to let out a huge burp but if I try to push gas up it just hurts and a tiny gurgling sound comes out. Everything I eat and drink feels like its forcing open my esophagus. Even drinking water is painful and sometimes gets stuck and comes back up! I’ve been prescribed antacids (prevacid, nexium) and they haven't helped. I now no longer drink because I have started experiencing these symptoms almost constantly. I got an endoscopy done last year that showed eosinophillipc esophogitis which I am being treated for. I have taken a pulmonary function test and was diagnosed with mild asthma, but nothing that should be causing these symptoms. They are the WORST at night! Sometimes when I eat I get an intense stabbing pain that starts in my chest and upper back and shoots up into my jaw. It’s so painful it makes me cry. Antacids do not help this. I am constantly trying to cough up phlegm that won’t come out and this has been happening for 2 years! I have used nasal irrigation systems... nothing seems to work and it’s getting worse and worse. Can anyone help me? P.s these symptoms are 10 TIMES WORSE if I even try and have one social drink. I am afraid I caused severe damage from drinking so much at that time in my life…I now have to experience these symptoms even though I stopped drinking. I’ll also add that the bumps on my throat that move up and down when I swallow (the ones everyone has)are starting to push out more and more…it looks like I’m getting an adams apple but I am a girl…. Please help.
