Hi!
I have had issues with reflux for some time now(over a year) and have been on small doses of omeprazole 20/40mg a day.
Recently I have been suffering really bad with phlegm in my throat,feels like a big ball of phlegm Is stuck and can't cough it up,the gp has said its nothing to worry about and basically told me to live with it.
Am concerned tho as the symptoms have never been this bad before! I have never had a scope and worry that my Esophogus is been worn away and am concerned also about barretts!
I am considering putting up my omeprazole to 80mg a day as some sites say this is the way to treat it! I have another doc appt on thurs but just expect to be brushed aside again :(
I don't know what to do now :(
Any sufferers who can help? Anyone on a 80mg dose?
Mike
