Anyone?

I have been having pain in my chest when I swallow food or drink for a couple days...I called my surgeon and he said liquids for 24 hours..okey doke..no problem..Has anyone had symptoms like this and if so what was it? Thanks! Dede

I had similar symptoms with my gallbladder -- I recommend having your gb checked (if you still have it) and getting an upper GI to rule out ulcers. Aside from that, your doctor(s) should be running tests to see what is going on -- don't sit idly by and allow pain to continue without knowing the source.

I had something like this. The first day it started went to the ER and got a cardiac workup. All was fine. This continued for a month. Then I started messing around with my vitamins and I found that the pills that I took whole were the problem. They were causing esophagael spasms which was the chest pains. I now cut hard pills into quarters and switched others to capsule forms and no more problems. Also taking them with warm liquids helped too. Not sure if that is your issue but thought I'd mention it. Good luck, Kathy
