My internist did a whole set of blood work back in the middle of Sept and he checked my thyroid hormones and all was normal so no issue there.

I can answer a lot of what you mentioned. In these cases, treatment focuses on easing your pain while you wait for costochondritis to improve on its own. Most cases of costochondritis have no apparent cause. When the pain of costochondritis is accompanied by swelling, it's referred to as Tietze syndrome. Your doctor might refer to costochondritis by other names, including chest wall pain, costosternal syndrome and costosternal chondrodynia. Pain caused by costochondritis may mimic that of a heart attack or other heart conditions. It causes sharp pain in the costosternal joint - where your ribs and breastbone are joined by rubbery cartilage. Costochondritis (kos-toe-KHON-dri-tis) is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone (sternum). There is also another issue u could have ur drs look at. The vagus nerve can affect u in so many ways.and cause pains like u mention. Hi.I am not a dr, but feel u should ask ur drs to look at ur thyroid is possible that u have a auto immune thyroid issue.they should check freeT3 and freeT4 and TPO antibodies as well as TSH.if they just do TSH ur thyroid could appear normal. Don't you think he should do those remaining tests for motility or another problem to make sure its not something else before giving up on me and sending me to a pain management doctor? Have any of you ever heard of over sensitive nerves as being the sole causes of GI related chest pains? Everything with my heart and lungs have checked out and we know its GI related since a lot of the pain, burning, nausea, etc comes with exercising and during/after eating. I am thinking that this is BS, not that it can't be related to nerves somehow but now he has changed his tune and won't do manometry to rule out a motility problem, which I think I have since I'm really starting to feel muscle spasms with the pH capsule in place or endoscopic ultrasound, or capsule endoscopy. Doesn't plan on doing any other testings and blaming everything on oversensitive nerve. The GI I'm seeing now originally said he would have to do other tests to rule out other issues but after having terrible pain in my chest from the capsule/clip they used for the pH test, he hows believes I have a hypersensitive vagus nerve that is causing all my problems since most people don't get this excruciating chest pain from the pH capsule. So far the monitor is showing pH's of between 6-8 so no acid is coming up into the esophagus into the stomach, thus ruling out that my continued symptoms are from acid reflux. In regards to my continue GI issues, am currently going through a 48-HR pH test. But that is another story which I will need to get rebiopsied at another time. Other doctors basically second guessing that I have Barrett's and that my initial GI might have taken piece of upper stomach rather than esophagus. Got more opinions after my initial GI left me hung out to dry as to why I continued to have a lot of GI symptoms while on the medications. So GI's believe that I might have another issue going on besides the GERD. They helped a little but I continue to have chest pains and several other symptoms after weeks of being on the medications. The situation is this, was on both prescription PPI's, which had problems tolerating, and thus have been on OTC PPI's and Carafate. Biopsy came back positive for non-dysplasia barrett's esophagus. Had endoscopy that showed gastritis and chronic esophagitis with edema.

Hi all! Since the beginning of August, have had severe acute episodes of chest pains, breathing difficulties, nausea after eating, sore/scratchy throat, hoarseness, clearing throat, etc.
