GERD symptoms. Mine came on suddenly. I all of a sudden lost my voice one weekend. It was strange because I did not feel sick or have a sore throat and I recall thinking it was very strange to lose my voice out of the blue.
I am a healthy 47 year old, fitness and health are my lifestyle. Not sure what caused this... Since losing the voice the cough and extra mucous have been steady. Went to doctor because after research on my own I diagnosed gerd. Put on PPI, nexium. It affected my moods... I was not finding this side effect widely reported. Was pretty disturbing as I really couldn't shake the sad feeling... Anyhow got off it and feel mentally good again but all gerd symptoms are back. My husband is doctor and suggests I can find alternate meds that block, rather than inhibit production of acids. Anyone ever hear of PPI causing sadness or other psychological side effects?
