Trigger Mike Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 during the prep i started having reflux. I don't usually have that problem. My chest started hurting mildly during the prep for the colonoscopy. the reflux has worsened as have the chest pains since the colonoscopy. Im not a big fan of reflux. I wonder if somehow it had an adverse effect in the upper GI
Pat Riot Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Call the Doc! Sounds strange to me...but then most things do in regards to medical issues.
Dusty Wyatt Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Good suggestion. Call the doctor. I have dealt with reflux for many years and was not bothered by it when prepping for either of my colonoscopies.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 My wife has had reflux for years. The prep has never bothered her. Check with your doc.
Tennessee Stud Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Look... I am a nobody.... but I think you may have two separate health issues. Not sure how a colonoscopy.... can cause "reflux"? Have you gained weight lately? Started sleeping flat on your back? Any change in the foods you eat? There are a bunch of reasons for reflux. "Google" I don't have reflux... never have... but my older brother choked on his on vomit years ago... because of it. His SASS name was Tom Slick. After that... I looked into it. ts
Trigger Mike Posted June 5, 2017 Author Posted June 5, 2017 it seems the medication for the prep triggered it but i figured it would pass. it has not, i will mention it to my doctor

Cat Brules Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 For the reflux, take over-the-counter Omeprazole for a couple days IF nothing else were going on. BUT, BUT,....if you're having persistent chest pain, I suggest you go to the nearest good emergency room (ER) immediately, before you do anything at all. I suggest you go there right away.
Irish Pat Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I had acid reflux for years and took prevacid like candy. Anyway went I went for a colon scope they went ahead and did an endoscope on me and found a malignant esophageal cancer which they got with micro surgery at Oschners inNew Orleans I was very lucky
