Hi Azrose,

Welcome :)

Let me first say - that I am very sorry for your suffering. Being sick and not knowing WHAT is wrong, I feel, is one of the most difficult things to go through.

MANY of your symptoms sound like GERD or LPR (a type of reflux) - have you tried at all Pepcid A/C, Zantac, Prilosec OTC, etc. for any length of time to see if it helps your symptoms at all? You could do that while you wait for your EGD so that you can at least see if you get some relief. That may help your stress level a bit.

Also, do you have an anxiety medication (Valium, Xanax, etc.) - perhaps when you get really upset you could try that to see if that helps.

I hope you get answers and RELIEF soon!

PS: Zithromax (Z-Pack) does that to me EVERY time I take it. Also, whenever I have to take a Pack - my relfux is always worse for a week or so after.
