| Should I go for this surgery?
Before I begin my story, I would like to excuse myself for my bad English..
It all started one day in september 2007. I just married my long time girlfriend. We had a very nice wedding where at least 300 people came and enjoyed our special day with us, though the wedding was costly and stressful, never-the-less I was happy and excited. Then just 2 weeks into my marriege, while my wife was out, I cooked myself a nice canned soup and ate it while lying back on the couch and watching t.v. Afterwords my wife came and I felt I wanted to go to sleep. As I got to my bed and was falling sleep I felt as If I couldnt breath. I immediately panicked and got up and went downstairs. My wife, who was in the kitchen asked "whats wrong honey", in which I replied "nothing". At this moment I am thinking to myself that I need to not freak my wife and just relax. So I sit right front of the T.V. hoping this thing will just go away. Then I felt as if I cant breath and my hands became cold. I got up and I felt like I was fainting. I then go to the kitchen and drink water. The whole time I am feeling weard and getting nervious like crazy. So I tell my wife "I cant breath call 911"..LOOOOOOOL(looking back at it I feel so sorry for myself but at the same time think of my poor wife)...What she did was question me and tells me to come down.Which of coarse I told her to call "911" again. When the ambulance came, they checked me and told me that I was fine and that I didnt need to go to the hospital. That whole night I was thought I was dying. I went from one place of the house to the other seeking comfort. Finally, I went to sleep for little bit. Long story short, the following days where the same scenerio as the one I just talked about, ambulance would come and tell me I am ok. After a week, we decided that we should notify the families. Which we did. Soon after, I went to my doctor, as I came in she said that was fridigy(nervious) and examined me and right their and then ordered tests on me, I mean all types of test, EKG, Blood test, and Barrium Swallow, which all turned out to be fine. At this point I am thinking I am going crazy. I mean how can a guy who was so outgoing, in shape, young (27), athletic(addicted to sport and working out), all of a sudden thinking about death. Anyways, the doctor said that I had anxiety and panic attack and so prescribed me anti-depresent medication. In my heart I knew that wasnt the right diagnosis. So I left and took that med for about 3 weeks, in which I found out that I still was the same, even worser. Then I went back to the doctor, but this time she was away and her subtitute informed of a possible case of ACID REFLUX. Which I dismissed. Anyways I went back again for at least three more times, until the doc felt that she couldnt do anything for me and send me to a throat specialist. By now its 3 months. This specialist checked me out and said I have ACID REFLUX . So now, I am believing, and immediately started using the medication for it. After a month I got slightly better. I forgot to mention how the pain transformed over time. As I said I all of a sudden felt I couldnt breath, afterwards I produce this LUMP on the THROAT, which was very annoying and painful. Also all these weird things were happening to my body which I attribute to the medication, such as tigling, numbness of the hands and feet sometimes, eye movement, and something running through my head. My over all sleeping pattern has being good, its actually my escape time. After using the medication for 3 months I go back to the doc and tell him that I am not still alright. So he requested I go take an endo(something), which came out fine. Then he said to me that my tonsils are infected and thats the only think he can thing of besides the ACID reflux that is there. I have being taken antibiotic medicine for a 2 weeks now ( I dont how long it takes effect, because I am not feeling that much better, though the doc said used it for 4 weeks). This is where I am at now, 8 months later. In the process I lost my job and my wife. What is your take on this?
