Diagnosed with LPR, anyone else?
I was recently diagnosed with LPR and GERD, after both visits to ENT and gi doctor. I always had chest pains which I thought were anxiety.
Symptoms are:
- Pressure headaches
- Nose Burning
- Ear pain and pressure
- Sore throat
- Lump in throat sensation
- Excess mucus in throat
- Chest pain between breasts
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Feeling ill
Anyone else have this? I was instructed to take two Nexium a day plus Zantac as needed for 6 weeks. Any other changes I can improve on? What do I do about diet and exercise? I want to stay on the ADs as I don't want to deal with withdrawal again. Help!

Hi,
I was diagnosed with GERD last year - and there are definitely dietary changes you can make to help :)
Different foods affect different people, so it's worth keeping a food diary to see what triggers it. For me, it's spicy food, fatty foods, alcohol and carbonated drinks.
Hope that helps :)

Thanks Emily, I will definitely keep track of what I have been eating. Somehow, I am finding that fatty foods are making it worse, and they give me a tendency to bloat up anyway. ><
