Hi everyone,
About 8 months ago I started suffering really badly with acid reflux. It felt like a javelin had been stuck where my ribs meet and went through to my back and the acid irritated my throat to the point I couldn't stop gagging. I was put on 30mg Lansoprazole and I also took Gaviscon Advance for a while too. The symptoms were under complete control however caused bad constipation. I decided to ease off them which eased the constipation however the acid came back with a vengeance!!
My question is... can acid reflux be this bad? I feel like I am having a heart attack... my neck and all down my spine feels sore. Is this a reflux symptom? It really is agony and it worries me that this is caused by something else?
Also, does anybody find that lansoprazole causes constipation? I raised this with my dicta and she completely dismissed it but when I came off the tablets it sorted itself out. I am now back on Lansoprazole hoping for symptoms to pass soon.
Cheers :)
