acid reflux

[melvin]

hii guys
does anyone here have realy bad acid reflux .i have a feeling of a lump in my throat .

[Greenman50]

I,m on meds for excess acid as my throat was sore for months (burning feeling) and the doc came up with "perhaps silent reflux) where you don,t feel it but its enough to burn the more sensitive throat . Not convinced myself as i think it is gastritis i have due to months on ibuprofen and stress , but the meds are sorting what ever it was out , the burning feeling in my stomach is all but gone , but i still have to take the meds .

I also get the lump in the throat feeling

Hey Melvin,

I went to the docs a couple of weeks ago because I suddenly have a really dry mouth, a horrible acid taste in my mouth, burping a lot and feel like something s stuck in my throat. I literally just took some tablets and felt like they were still in my throat even though I had half a glass of water with them! It was annoying me that much that I put my finger down my throat to where it felt like they were stuck and nothing - very bizarre.

Anyway, my doc said it was probably a touch of acid reflux as these are classic symptoms.

Hi ,melvin

What tabs are you on ?

I take 1 x 30 mg of lansprazole in the morning and i also take ranitidine 150 mg 3 x a day .
I also get chest pain and the phelm and throat clearing . I also had the sore throat first and all my other syptyms kicked off after takeing the meds ?.
I,ve ate pizza tonight and its all kicked off again (the stomach burning) i,m so annoyed with myself .

[allergyphobia]

i think i might have a combination of acid reflux and post nasal drip
i get a lot of throat clearing, mucus, persistent cough that's been there for a year, breathlessness, tight chest, chest burning, sore throat... i think that's it.. im 23...

hi guys
just to let you know i went to ent today queens med . i had a cam up my nose so they can look in to Ur throat .they said i had lpr ie laryngopharyngeal big word lol . silent reflux this has put my mind at rest .my meds aren't making much difference though so i have to see how i go and go see doc in a couple of months see how im doing prop go on different med .

Thanks for the update , hope it sorts its self out . I know a number of people who have this and it can take 6 months to settle down apparantly , a bland diet really helps and raising the bed with one of those special pillows for reflux so it doesn,t happen as much at night.
