And my throat is all cloggy too.......
And 15 minutes later I feel a slight shortness of breath. Protonix not working, so GI doc doesn't feel like it's acid reflux or GERD. Maybe IBS? What else could it be? Thanks, Stu...
And 15 minutes later feel a little like I'm a little out of breath? IBS? Esophageal spasm? Thanks, Stu...
Thanks for the tip on probiotics. I'm very happy to try some non-prescript ion meds to get a handle on this. I've heard that my anti-spasm meds can have side effects... and I'm very sensitive to side...
Yes, that was our first diagnosis, but I took a PPI med, Protonix, and it has not worked, so my GI doc says it might be esophageal spasms, and has put me on an anti-spasm med, to see if that helps. I...
Thanks for the great response. My bowel movements have been a little irregular, but no diarrhea or constipation. I would say not too much out of the ordinary. Lots of burping, though, and probably...
Hi folks: I'm new to this board. Was previoiusly thought to have acid reflux with symptoms of lots of small burps all time (very unusual for me)a feeling of mucus in throat (especially after eating),...
I'll post the name of the drug as soon as I hear back from the pharmacy. And, like you, I burp -- small ones -- all the time, especially in the morning when I get up. The trapped air causing the...
Just got my endoscopy biopsy back and it was negative. Everything's fine. With the Protonix not working effectively, I spoke to my doctor about what could be causing my symptoms -- feeling like...
Thanks so much Tammy. Will look into those and talk to my doc too for his thoughts as well....
No, haven't tried a liquid antacid. Which would you recommend? Is it to be taken just before bedtime? Thanks!...
For anxiety relief, by far the best type of therapy is CBT, which is cognitive behavioral therapy. It's proven to work .... and certainly has for me. CBT is different than most normal therapies in...
Enuf: So sorry to hear what you're going through. I've had anxiety issues for many years and although you certainly could have something going on wise GERD-wise or anything else, it sounds like the...
With my symptoms persisting... they began in late October with a feeling I couldn't get a deep breath... I had my endoscopy on Friday. GI doc says everything looked normal... esophogus, stomach and...
Been seeing an ENT who thought it was acid reflux. On Protonix now. Symptoms don't seem severe... but they aren't going away either. I think I need to see a GI doc as a next step and maybe get an...
Thanks Tammy. Without going to a GI doc and not having any tests done yet, I would say I have acid reflux without GERD. Or at least I hope so! :)...
What exactly is the difference? Can you have acid reflux and not GERD?...
Never had a reaction to eating oranges before. Sat on the couch afterward watching TV, and noticed my breath was a bit forced and/or shallow. Weird.......
Thanks Tammy. Very interesting. Much appreciated!...
Thanks Tammy. Actually, shortness of breath was my first symptom. I went to an internist and pulmonologist right away to check my breathing and lungs, and they were fine. I took an asthma test, too,...
I noticed today after eating two miniature oranges that about 10 minutes later I had some slight shortness of breath. No heartburn or anything else. Does this seem more like an acid reflux or...
Thanks Tammy. Is it unusual to have shortness of breath but NOT heartburn/chest pain?...
Just came back from a week's vacation and I didn't have one symptom. Yeah! A day after I returned, though, I felt that mucus-like feeling in my throat again and I had to clear it a bunch of times....
Thanks Tammy. Just came back from my ENT doctor, who looked at my throat and said she doesn't see much corosion due to a lot of acid reflux. It seems to be a small amount at this point, and she...
I was recently on the steroid prednisone for two separate 10-day cycles, and also was taking an antibiotic. Can taking these medications induce acid reflux and/or GERD? Will the acid reflux/GERD...
Folks: After coming off a cold a few months ago, I noticed I was having some shortness of breath. Turns out my lungs are perfectly fine, but then I started getting chest pain. My ENT suggested I...
