This is actually very common. It's normal to be frustrated about it. I've seen a doctor in the past hoping for a solution and the doctor had no answers. Just because they're so called "experts" doesn't mean they always know what's up. Sometimes doing research yourself can be more beneficial. If you've done that, tried some things, and nothing is working, then of course see another doctor.
I have done the research and from it sounds like it's some sort of motility issue where the muscle just doesn't function correctly . I don't know 100 percent but it seems like it since I have dysphagia which is like fits / trouble swallowing food and also passing it down after my throat to my stomach without it getting "stuck" or what it feels like stuck . I also suspect this could be it because I take the motility pills and eating is much better with them than without so ? when I take the stomach acid pills .. doesn't seem to make much of a difference but then again some times I do get a few days in a row of acid reflux what not but is that abnormal or maybe just the same issue healthy people go through even it's hard to tell . The symptoms in the research points to both conditions so it's tricky to pin point it fully .. which is where I felt like the doctor would come in with her testing and experience but it doesn't seem that way . I understand what these comments above are saying about them not knowing everything , sure I get that however .. this isn't my family doctor , this is a specialist bred to only deal with the problems in this field related directly to my symptoms and issues so I feel like she should have a much better handle on it than she has . I also don't feel very good when someone just gives up on me and says literally " sometimes these things happen and then just figure themselves out" without even explaining what possibly it could be if its not showing signs they can figure out . I am frustrated because I have had medical issues slacked on before or misdiagnosed and suffered traumatic health issues .. one time they told me I had strep .. comes to find out I didn't , took the wrong meds and ended up with a heart attack at age 21 because of it .. so I definitely am paranoid when it comes to medical attention and not having a definite answer :( I also have muscle damage from a weight lifting incident that was never really asses properly , thrown in some light physio which definitely did nothing so ill be seeing a specialist for this too .. I am trying to give her the benefit of the doubt but its super frustrating when someone cant even give you a diagnosis it's odd to me? I doubt im some medical mystery she has never seen before
IIN this doctor appointment was unacceptable to me
