AngieM · March 4, 2008

What does it feel like and what are the symptoms? Sometimes my stomach will feel a burning sensation. Even when I havn't eaten in a while. I also wonder if it is esoph spasims. If you have had these problems please let me know the symptoms and the fix. Thanks so much!

Usually erosion doesn't have many symptoms, most don't realize they have it. The biggest one is they tend to gain weight.

Esophageal spasms feel like a heart attack many times. You can be walking across the room and suddenly find yourself doubled over in pain. It's like a charlie horse in your esophagus.

Slips... often times you can't even keep Water down, you barf everything. Think of an hourglass, the top half being very small and the bottom very large. With a slip usually the back half of the stomach slides up through the band and the top half gets bigger and flops over to one side cutting off the pass through for food and liquids. You might feel a loss of restriction, very big and noticeable or an inability to keep anything down.

I'd go to your doc and see what is going on with you.

Thanks. I plan to do that but I also like to "go in" kinda educated if I can. Thanks again for your reply. I wonder if It is just a fill problem then or maybe a dilation? At anyrate I am making my appointment tomorrow.
