Mackler triad
The Mackler triad is a term that defines the classical presentation seen in Boerhaave syndrome. It comprises:
1. Vomiting
2. Lower chest pain
3. Subcutaneous emphysema
Subcutaneous emphysema is only seen in approximately half of patients at the initial presentation (typically in those patients who present later).
Rare but you're not alone
I'm a 2 time survivor from vomiting induced Boerhaave Syndrome.
It's a life changing event that can light a fire under you to help others.
Any questions about this I would be honored to help answer or even offer myself as a test subject.
Our intestines are made of bio-organic compounds, the same as goats milk. Our bones are made of calcium, same as cows milk.
Did you ever notice how goats bounce from the minute they're born until they die of old age? That's because being bio-organic based means they won't suffer from arthritis or other calcium derived problems. Secondly it's the closest thing to human mothers milk.
Since you are what you eat I encourage you to try using goats milk to help rebuild and heal faster. Lettuce was hard for me to digest after being hospitalized, but spinach was not.
If I can help in anyway please contact me.

Boerhaave syndrome
boerhaave syndrome is a complication of malorry weiss tear. this syndrome is characterized by oesophageal rupture with associated mediastinitis.
sorry bro..correct me if i am wrong
i thought boerhaave syndrome was idiopathic spontaneous rupture.
is it secondary to mallory weiss tear??
mallory weiss tear is subcutaneous vessel repture in the fundus resulting rarely in massive hemetemesis. how is it related to oesophageal rupture
and most common site of rupture in boerhaave syndrome is lower third left postero lateral
of oesophagus
Boerhaave Syndrome.....sufferer
I had two complete Boerhaave tears in 2010 both due to violent uncontrollable vomiting. There wasn't any sign of blood in the vomit for either of my episodes. First time vomiting lasted about 6 hours before I called for help. Once in the ER I was shaking uncontrollably, fever was off the charts, pale, my body was trying to vomit but couldn't, extremely dehydrated all I wanted was water.
It felt very similar to the heat stroke I had in 2007 or 08.
They didn't know what to do or what was wrong. I had subcutaneous air around my heart, pleural cavities, around my esophagus and all across the surface of my skin around my chest and shoulders.
My tear was never discovered even after the second tear. I've been scoped from both ends with no sign of scar tissue or tear. Sampling of tissues and stomach acid hasn't provided any solutions.
They had me swallow Barium while rotating and scanning my esophagus again with no evidence of the tear. Due to the lack of knowledge they waited a few days before having me swallow the Barium.
If there is any way I can help with the research for future sufferers please don't hesitate to contact me.
