			<description><![CDATA[Hi Stephanie - I sympathize very much with you. 
  
 To, me, this sounds like you do have a Hiatial Hernia.  :(

			<description><![CDATA[Well the Dr has ordered an upper endoscopy so I guess we will see what happens.  I am having trouble eating.  I took a pill that she gave me for heartburn and after about 20 minutes I still feel like it's lodged in my throat :(  I have to wait until the 11th for my procedure if everything goes well.]]></description>
