Stressing out!!

Hi i am.a mum of 3 young babies so last resort is asking for help here 

4 weeks ago food was becoming a issue when swallowing I was referred as a 2 week referral and last week had my ent app upper gi and hearing test the last said my throat was a bit inflamed so recommended a swallow test and it looked as though my old tonsil scar had some.tissue there and may be a 'pit' she said I was low risk for cancer 37 non smoker not over wight etc 

 

However i forgot to mention how lightheaded I have been feeling as I didn't link the 2 but this seems to have started around the same time I dont feel off balance just a weird feeling I have phlem every time I eat and the burping is excessive I think this is why she is assuming acid and put me on lanzaprol been taken them every day but food is still the same and the funny head is bothersome I have no pains really except a bit of a stiff neck 

 

Can anyone give me suggestions of you have had similar 

  • Hi Leanne,

    Lightheadedness, burping and a stiff neck are all symptoms of anxiety and I have experienced all of these in the past in relation to health anxiety. They are very real and in my case they all disappeared when the main worry went away.

    I hope you get answers to your discomfort soon and all is well.

    Good luck

    Joy
