it's the same medication I have already been and that's not a solution , it's a band aid . I understand they are humans but believe me .. if it was her in my shoes , she would have an answer I am sure of it . I can understand some things heal over time but we haven't at least even identified the issue and also .. it can be life threatening since it could get worse and prevent me from drinking liquids even and swallowing foods ... even at this moment I have a chance of choking every time I sit down to eat .
Have you considered that perhaps the problem is psychological, not physical? I'm not saying you're crazy, before you get offended, but the mind is what controls everything else, and it's surprising how often a mental block or something can be the problem.
I considered it today after hearing no diagnosis but that was the first time . I suppose I see how that may be an issue but then again she still didn't consider that from her professional stand point .. I don't know the treatment for that , maybe the same as a mechanical issue , the swallowing therapist . If it's not acid reflux or any of this other jazz it must be a motility issue and if so I think more testing should be involved because the last test I did was not efficient I don't believe as it was pretty hard to eat and carry out a completely normal day as they wanted with a tube jammed down my throat through my nose into my stomach but .. I don't know anymore :( I just feel frustrated I suppose and maybe my reactions not normal or called for .
Medical problems are incredibly frustrating, no one wants to be unwell. And I can imagine the symptoms you're describing are very distressing. But you can't expect every doctor to have an immediate answer.
A GP is unlikely to know much about psychological issues. It's not their field. That's why there are psychologists, or neurologists, perhaps. I don't know, I have no medical training, I just go with my common sense and reasoning.
Whatever's causing your symptoms, it does sound a bit scary. I'd be going for a second opinion if I were you: if you're choking when you eat there has to be some reason for it
While I agree it's possible OP's issues are psychologically based, I think it's totally ridiculous to suggest that the mind "controls everything else". That's just newage (rhymes with sewage) psychobabble.
The mind can affect SOME physical conditions, but not "everything"
Well that's one of the stupidest comments I've seen for a while: just because the brain controls the rest of our bodies doesn't mean it controls every aspect of our health or ill health, which is what your original post was suggesting
IIN this doctor appointment was unacceptable to me

thank you friend .

Ok. Let's test this theory. Remove your brain.
Still functioning?

And your "newage rhymes with sewage" was intellectual instead of moronic? Or in anyway helpful? Or relevant?
I'm not even going to bother further. You are a joke.
