justnzane Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I have to thank everyone who wished me lucked last month when i was told that i had a heart condition. I didn't want everyone to know that i was told that i was going to die by the doctors. I was a total wreck for about a week, but after a lot of testing, a specialist concluded that my doctor is total moron, and incorrect. As for why i was experiencing breathing problems, it has been found that i have severe acid reflux, which has eroded my esophagus to the point where it was expanded and blocking my trachea. this made it really hard to breathe at times but i am under a few different meds right now to control it and i am allowed to finnaly work out and resume activities. My NEW doctor has given me the green light to living my life again. _ Thank you all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gross Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Nothing like a nihilistic doctor....even too incompetent to string you out with "treatments." A lesson in getting second opinions. Glad to hear things are all right. You should sue for that scare ("Well, because I was going to die I quit my job and spent all my money...").

IBTG81 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Better yet....you skipped classes causing you to flunk out of school costing you millions in future income. 464165[/snapback] Actually, this would actually work. I was an Econ minor in college. My prof worked with lawyers. His job was to economically come up with a price that people could so for. He said, while sad, the best case to win on was a young person, especially a toddler. He could argue that this toddler was going to become a neurosurgeon. Afraid to go to court, many insurance companies would settle...for a lot. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have severe acid reflux as well, and it is BRUTAL when I have a flare up of it. It feels like you're having a heart attack (or what I'd imagine a heart attack would feel like, anyway).

And women claim that men don't experience anything like a pregnancy scare. I dare them to say that to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a tumor in your esophagus, oh no wait, its acid reflux causing your breathing problems... Damn doctors can scare the bejuses out of you when they have no clue....
