Given meds for Reflux - Allergy and Side effect fear

[RyanM1994]

Hmm I'm only on them for 2 weeks so hopefully it starts to help before then lol.

Haven't noticed anything yet, I'm still convinced theres something more wrong with me with everything but trying to keep positive. Its fathers day here in the UK so spending some time with my family and trying to eat a bit more today

So proud if what I have accomplished though,

I think if you don’t eat then it can make it worse too as your stomach creates more acid.
You’ve been checked over & your ok. My symptoms appeared almost overnight too, although looking back there had been little warnings.
Try not too eat anything too high in fat or too spicy, too much! I know it’s really hard and can be exhausting and depressing, but you’ll be ok.

Happy Fathers Day!

Just had another panic attack, this time about Barrett's oesophagus again.

My throat is sore and red, and I'm convinced my oesophagus must have taken some serious damage from that.
I should have just taken the meds sooner rather than wait 6 days

Ugh this anxiety is annoying

Do you go back to the doctor after 2 weeks?

Can I ask your age?

Have you looked at the symptoms of GERD? Instead of all the other things?

It says to just stop after 2 weeks, he didn't mention going back but I will either way to evaluate what happened.

I'm 24, but I'm quite obese (working on it) and have a very stressful job

I have, and I have pretty much every one of them at the moment but had them constantly for the 6 days lol.

It's more the fact it has been there constantly that worries me. If it was over a period of days it would have more time to heal surely.

I've had a bit of relief this evening thankfully and have felt hungry for the first time.

Have a bit if burning back now though :( just need to give it time I guess

Just take the ACV and stop eating crap.

I had it for over 20 years before I dealt with it. You're overthinking.

You're bloody bulletproof at 24 lol. Just deal with it, get it resolved and stop reading horror stories on Google.

^^^That^^^ If you find they start to work, you can call your doctor and have him prescribe more or go with an OTC PPI like Zantac or Prilosec. Did you look at the link I posted? Have you started a food diary?

Afternoon both (UK time anyway).

Apologies, I'm probably going to keep replying on here occasionally while I try and struggle my way through this.

Last night, I had a small amount of burning that went away, I woke up without any mouth or throat pain for the first time in nearly a week.
This morning, I ate breakfast and had no burning at all .

I ate lunch around 2 hours ago and am currently in the middle of an 'attack', which is incredibly painful.
I ate some hard food with my lunch, which felt like it got stuck in my throat/oesophagus and gave me more sharp pain in my throat so I drank some water, which didn't clear it but I kept downing the water.

After that, the burning came right back and now have burning worse than ever before. it HURTS so much

I'm not going to attempt to eat anymore hard foods any time soon
