Anybody been told they have acid reflux without tests?
Mt GP and A&E when it started in December said what i was experiencing was classic acid reflux. Now i've never had any tests to prove otherwise, should i have tests?
Since December it has improved massively, it took a while but it went away pretty much, but i was taking omeprazole by this point very other day or very couple days, which came about by me simply forgetting to take them, and i found it actually helped taking them with a few days in between, now last week i didn't take them for 4 days and it got worse again (lots of saliva mainly) and it hasn't got any better despite taking an omeprazole for the last 3 days consecutive, in fact it seems worse :(
I google the question "can omeprazole make acid reflux worse?" and i looked down the results and saw a paragraph which said "if you leave acid reflux it can cause cancer" or something like that.
Now i'm getting all paranoid again!!!, i asked google a simple question and it came back with cancer :(
The doctor has not asked about my acid reflux since, is it something that needs to be kept an eye on? is it normal to have it come and go in bouts? i'm not sure wether to take omeprazole tonight or not.
Thanks
