Upper chest discomfort after strep full#

My wife thinks that I should get the endoscopy done just to be sure, but to me it really feels like a lung issue. Rapid heartbeat, pounding, or heart palpitations. Other physical symptoms may include: Sweating. So here we are nearing the end of September and I still feel the same. While chest pain may be the most frightening symptom, it is just one of many physical symptoms that anxiety can cause. Other causes of gastrointestinal that cause chest pain after eating are as follows: Esophageal Ulcer. Still the same daily chest discomfort, tightness. In GERD, the pain may be constant and may worsen, especially at night when sleeping. Sure enough, my symptoms have not changed. I hate taking unnecessary meds, so I stopped. He even suggested that I may want to see a pulmonologist (which I had already done). He suggested that I stop all PPIs and see if my symptoms change. The chemicals your body creates as the immune system ramps up to fight an infection can lead to a number of symptoms. I told him that my symptoms had remained constant. However, everyone’s experience with strep throat is slightly different. He said I should be feeling 'like a new man' if it were reflux. I told him that I had been taking the PPIs and he asked if I felt better. He offered to do an endoscopy (just to cover the bases) but implied that he did not think it was necessary. I visited a gastroenterologist and he disagreed with the LPR diagnosis and said that I really have no symptoms of reflux. I was told that my lungs were 'pristine' and I should consider a gastroenterologist. After a month of the same, I had the breathing tests done. We scheduled breathing tests just in case my condition did not improve. He thought that I was fine, agreed with LPR diagnosis. My primary doctor suggested that I visit a pulmonologist for their opinion and breathing tests (if required). He encouraged me to keep on the PPIs for another month or so (which I did, along with diet changes), but in the end has made no difference. I visited an ENT who used the scope and saw 'some' swelling around larynx and agreed with the LPR diagnosis. My diet was already healthy but I cleaned it up even more, cut back on coffee, alcohol, and tried PPIs (prilosec and pantaprozole) for a month. I've never had any digestive issues or anything to even hint at reflux. I consulted a friend (who is a primary care doctor), and he suggested that I may have silent-reflux (LPR). However, we tried an asthma-allergy medication for a couple of weeks which made no difference. I have no trouble exhaling or other asthma-like symptoms.

It later returned and we discussed if I may have asthma (which I never have had). My doctor thought that I might have a mild infection and prescribed antibiotics which seemed to help. Later it developed into what felt like chest congestion but I had no cough. The pain radiates to the back (upper mid-back area) in 50 of the cases. Nausea and vomiting are present in about 90 of the causes. Pain or tightness in the chest that worsens with coughing or breathing Cough with phlegm Feeling suddenly worse after having a cold or the flu High fever. The pain may be in the right upper part of your stomach.

Know these signs of strep throat so you can zap it early.Hi. Antibiotics can help someone with strep feel better faster and prevent those complications. “It would not be good if someone were to not come in to get a diagnosis and then end up with complications when it is so easy to treat,” says Aaron Prussin, MD, assistant professor of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at the University of Utah School of Medicine. The good news is that strep throat is easily treated with antibiotics if it’s diagnosed correctly. If left untreated, it can also cause serious problems, like rheumatic fever, heart valve damage, and sepsis or blood poisoning. The infection is more common in school-age kids than adults, but it can happen to anyone. Strep throat is caused by a type of bacteria called Group A Streptococcus.

Aside from the telltale pain, other characteristic symptoms of strep include swollen lymph nodes and a red rash in your mouth. Strep throat isn’t the most common cause of a sore throat, but it can be one of the most painful.
