Problems after recent fill
I have been having some problems this week. I had a fill Monday afternoon. Afterwards, I met a friend at a Mexican restaurant for some refried beans and a cheese quesadilla. That night, I woke up at 2:00 am with severe stomach pain, burning esophagus and throat and regurgitation. I was up at least 2 hours, miserable. Pepto Bismol did nothing to alleviate this. I had a sour taste in my mouth and thought I just ate something wrong and had some food poisoning.
Last night, it happened again. I woke up at 2:00am, about 3 hours after eating a mushroom quesadilla. Same symtoms. I took a cough drop hoping to numb my throat. When I finally woke up at 4:00 am, my throat was still burning but then my chest felt some pressure on it. The pressure has since moved to between my shoulder blades, and now is back in my sternum.
My Doctor's office said that I rushed into eating real foods too quickly. So I am now on liquids for 2 days, then 2 days of soft foods. And hopefully that will alleviate my problems. If there is no change by Monday morning, then my latest fill is too tight.
