Here we go again...

Ok. Called the gastrologist doctor back. The doctor wont be in until later so they'll check with him & get back to me on what I should do next.

This morning I checked out MSN and found an article on how eating too fast can give you acid reflux.. unfortunately Im guilty for eating too quickly & decided to read it. Well on another page it listed "alarm" symptoms. The very first one is "trouble swallowing, feeling like food is stuck in your throat"

Greeat.

You should see a doctor immediately if you have an alarm symptom so they can test you to rule out heart disease/cancer.

Greeeat.

They have not done that. They said Im not a 60 year old man who drinks.. but still. Cancer runs in both sides of my family. My mother had it... My Uncle, and my dear cousin (his daughter) Christine passed away from it at the age of 36/37 after having a fight with it for a couple of years.....sooooo of course right now I am having more stomach ickies & worried because after reading that again - it sticks in your mind "What If" Its probably not - but What IF?

Jeffs like calm down, on line things always say cancer.. so dont worry until you've been to the doctor, but you always want to rule the big scaries out first ya know? You want a test done to confirm it not someone saying Naaaah - you're fine - cuz you never know.

Even if this is acid reflux - if no one helps me out & the trouble continues, it can cause other conditions. I just want to stop feeling this way. Friday it was so bad.. it affected me at work, at home. Its uncomfortable even when you're trying to ignore it & carry on your day. I try to not think about it & thats why I put off calling the doctor. I really should have called last Friday feeling that way.

So we shall see what the next thing to do is sometime this afternoon. Just another thing to make me mopey about my upcoming bday. One more thing to feel old over. Last night I almost threw up puting lotion on my feet & saying gee look at the veins in my feet! So on top of worrying about this its also sad that im getting OLD LOOKING FEET! : (
