Hey guys,
I just joined and would love some advice! I was diagnosed with GERD sometime in early February, after having had an endoscopy in Jan saying I had mild esophagitis. I did something really stupid around early March where I sort of binge ate for a week, and now it seems I have LPR.... :( I have a burning nose sensation a lot of the time, my belches come all the way up (though im trying to prevent this w smaller meals and a low FODMAP diet), and my swallowing feels very strange. Can anyone describe how their LPR sore throat is supposed to feel? At first I had a huge stabbing pain in my throat - almost felt like it was the muscle and the area between the skin and the actual throat that was throbbing.... my neck even burned most of the time. That has subsided thankfully (occasional neck burn), but now I'm still left with a weird rubbery type swallow. Rubbery in the sense, that it almost feels incomplete. Maybe I am swallowing too little saliva? Which is making it sound like a gulp most of the time? It also just feels and tastes rather prickly, and i do get the cotton mouth/lump in throat feeling a lot.
Any similar feelings?
Thank you!
