Visited A&E on several occasions, all 3 times even after providing all the symptoms of acid reflux I was mis-diagnosed. I have acid reflux, a 5cm Hiatus Hernia and this had affected my throat, which I do not even to this day know the damage it has done (still waiting for a consultant). I was initially told I cut my stomach, take omeprazole for a week and you’ll be fine, 2nd time I was told I had a scratchy throat and third time I was told take omeprazole for 4 weeks and everything will be fine. What you should have done is realise that I had acid reflux and referred me for an endoscopy instead I was left to own devices. NHS feels more like a state pension, you only need it your dieing, otherwise take out a personal pension to cover yourself, you pay for it, they will be more interested to tell you whats at fault and fix you up, money talks.
