I have a history of ulcers and have had previous endoscopies with no ill effects.
I went to Dr. Eugene A. Coman of Long Island Digestive Disease Consultants because of severe stomach pain, which I thought might be another ulcer. The first appointment I could get was over a month away and I was given a prescription for Protonix until then. By the time my appointment came around, the Protonix was working well and I was feeling pretty good.
He told me I needed a routine endoscopy. He found no ulcers and concluded that I had gastric reflux disease. This was a huge surprise to me, since I never had any GERD symptoms previously. However, as I left the office, I felt - FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER - stomach acid coming up into my mouth.
My stomach pain is long gone, but the reflux problem - clearly caused when the endoscope was forced past my esophageal sphincter - remains 1.3 years later. Although 'controlled' by daily medication and lifestyle changes, reflux is still miserable. I must stop eating before 5 pm and must sleep nearly sitting up to avoid having the refluxed acid damage tissue in my throat. I have had 16 sore throats since the fateful endoscopy. Protonix is no longer working for me and I will probably have to have surgery to fix my esophageal sphincter. |
