Seeing GI Doc (aerophagia, heart burn) - Questions to Ask?

Post by averian » Sat Mar 28, 2009 1:45 pm

I'm still very much struggling with aerophagia. Since starting xPAP therapy I've also been experiencing regular and quite uncomfortable heart burn. I'm scheduled to see the GI doc on Tuesday to see what is going on and if there is anything he can do.

Since I know many of you have experience with these same issues, do you have any recommendations for things I should keep in mind to ask the Dr.? (perhaps any tests I should look into or avoid?)

I guess I'm just trying to make sure I can explain the issues and lead the discussion in the most fruitful manner in regards to what seems like correlated issues for us xPAP users.

Ask him just how clean that thing is before he jams it down your throat.
