...Barely tolerable, I daresay...

Just as my almost-PCP said, the report says I have a hiatal hernia.  No mention of this to me whatsoever afterward.  I would think that this would be something you'd tell your pt.  I also found out that I had a small HH two years ago during my last EGD.  So he now has a double history of telling me I've got heartburn when it was more.  I also had mild reflux.  This is after he told me it wasn't reflux.  Both times!  I've lost confidence in my Dr. 

The whole feeling of having a lump in my throat and behind my sternum are classic for HH.  Wasn't it nice of him to make think I'm crazy and it's all in my head.  Or it's just IBS.  He looked at me like I was asking for darvocet or something when I asked for a Prevacid refill.

I did get the path report for my biopsy.  I guess they were trying to figure out it if the inflammation was from infection or blocked circulation.  7 cm of very inflammed and bleeding colon really does hurt. 

Disgruntled dyspepic.

Oh well, at least I had a lovely massage.  It relaxed me nicely after all my irritation of earlier in the day.
