Not sure if i have esophagitis or not ..i been dealing with bad acid reflux i been eating but today i woke up and i could barely swallow .feels like my esophagus is irrited because i been spitting alot too .im kind of scared i make have to get a endoscopy done .
I have bad acid reflux and because all the medications I take, I have to take Nexium. It helps so much. I would be hurting and nauseous otherwise. It really helps me. I tried other acid reflux meds but Nexium works best for me. Please try to find whatever helps you best.
That sounds really uncomfortable and scary β waking up barely able to swallow is definitely something to take seriously. With lupus, swallowing difficulties (called dysphagia) are more common than many people realize, affecting up to 13% of people with lupus.

I was doing something similar and I could barely keep food down felt like i was constantly gagging eventually my nephrologist who left referred me to a GTI specialist before he left for another part of the UK, my GTI specialist then sent to get a scan on my throat and stomach ofc they told me what I already knew I have severe GERD but what's been causing my issues aside from the GERD is that I have a hernia the size of a softball in my stomach that's been pushing my stomach to my chest that I am more than likely gonna have to have surgery on. She scheduled me for an endoscopy in October.
I pray that your symptoms have decreased and I pray that your restoration of health is happening . Love and blessings πππΎ
Sorry I missed this earlier, BG! I hope you feel better and that you can get the endoscopy done soon.
