One Diagnosis Down…

Who knows how many to go. I have finally received the results of my EGD and was informed that I have a large hiatal hernia. This causes me to have severe acid reflux and issues at times with keeping things down. As such, I am to raise the head of my bed, never lay down less than 2 hours after eating, and take Nexium for pretty much the rest of my life. It appears I may have actually been born with this issue. So we can add that to the fun. )

Now I have to find out if I have high blood pressure and if I do, if they are going to put me on meds for it. That I will find out on Tuesday. Yay. At least I now have a standing order that I am to have Nexium, so my regular doctor should leave it alone like I told him to in the first place. Oh well.

  • I have a hiatal hernia. Did you know some children can be born with a hiatal hernia. It sucks. When I was younger, I was ticklish and I got sick when being tickled. I am glad I grew out of that. I have genetic reflux on top of that, so usually if something is so hilarious I get that deep guffaw, not only do I get sick, but I hiccup for what seems ages.... and no normal means helps. Just have to calm down.

    That is what my doctor is thinking is that I was born with mine. I was like that too - got sick if I was tickled, laughed too much, cried too much, etc. That was really interesting on special occasions. I still do it sometimes too. Drives me nuts.
