David Miller, a 58-year-old high school...
David Miller, a 58-year-old high school history teacher, had been struggling for months. It started with occasional heartburn, but escalated to violent, unproductive retching spells, especially after meals. He was constantly exhausted, embarrassed by episodes during class, and had lost 15 pounds. His primary doctor referred him to a gastroenterologist, Dr. Chen, who suspected a possible esophageal motility disorder or severe reflux. Dr. Chen recommended an upper endoscopy to visualize David's esophagus and stomach. The procedure itself was quick; under sedation, David felt nothing. The findings were a relief: severe erosive esophagitis but no serious structural issues. Post-procedure, with a clear diagnosis, David started a high-dose PPI and dietary changes. Within weeks, the dry heaving subsided dramatically. Emotionally, he moved from a state of fearful frustration and isolation to profound relief and regained control, eager to return to his classroom with confidence.
