Hey All,

My name is Cheryl and this is my first time posting. I am currently a member of the uninsuredcommunity and would appreciate any advice regarding my current health situation.

I have had a problem with Aerophagia for about 6 months now, I notice it always happens during sleep and is so bad I have to get out of bed no matter what the time. It usually subsides when I get up and go about my day until 3 days ago, and it seems to be getting worst. I now have pain in the middle upper stomach upon swallowing, even saliva hurts, like a fist twisting inside me.  My throat feels like I have a lump and is getting achy. Every time I swallow it feels like I'm being pumped up with air. I am not gaseous at all, I've actually tried to belch to get some relief. I am not nauseous, nor do I have fever or diarrhea.  I am a 49 year new female, 5'8", 158 pounds, very active. I truly appreciate your time and help, thank you.
