throat tingling/numbness

recently had an upper gi series and it showed a small Duodenal ulcer
dr said that it wasnt the ulcer causing the the throat/neck sensations (feels like a burning sensation that goes from adams apple to jawline, doesnt hurt its just really annoying having this feeling ) said it may be refulx, it doesnt hurt when i swallow i do have some hoarseness tho
i started prilosec thursday and havent had munch relief as of yet
anything else i can do till my next appt on friday?

As Joy recommended, and if one PPI doesn't work for you, ask for another. I only got relief from Nexium, but my sis is OK with Prilosec. Some work longer than others - google "duration of action." I found Zantac helped too, took that one in the evening.

Timing of the meds makes a big difference too! I found taking PPIs a half hour to an hour before breakfast, and making sure to eat at least a little breakfast is important. The pills depend on you eating breakfast! They will not work nearly as well without it.

Yes. it could be.

some clues:

if hoarseness starts in the morning when you wake up, right after you eat or 1 hr after you eat it could be reflux.
