So I had a barium swallow test the yesterday. It wasn't fun. In short, they made me drink a bunch of gross stuff and filmed it via xray to see how I swallow as well as cause nausea and see acid reflux happen. It was unpleasant and almost made me vomit.
That test took a lot out of me, mentally and physically, and I've been suffering from insane low energy fatigue ever since I had the test. Got the results today on the test, but it was emailed to me and well... I didn't understand a word of it, but after doing some research (Because my attempts to call just went to voicemail) my understanding of the findings is something like this.
There's like a ring of tissue that is around the lower part of my esophagus that's tightening it up making swallowing difficult and causing acid reflux. There's a big bump or hernia causing additional issues, and there's webbing caused my mucus and tissue in the upper part of the esophagus also causing issues. Seemly the latter one is often connected to low iron anemia...
That last one certainly ties to all the fatigue I've been feeling, though I figured I eat more than enough foods with iron in them. Hrmmmm...
So seems I now need to schedule and Endoscopy... yeah... nothing like getting a tube shoved down your throat. At least they put me under for this, so it won't make feel as shitty as the barium swallow... in theory.
