Clearing my throat, coughing, choking on mucus and asthma-like symptons. Been on a number of different medications started with Omeprazol switched to Nexium, now on Kapedex. Relief is marginal. When I start taking a new medication, regarless of which one it is, after a few days it seems to have a positive effect. But it doesn't last. After about a week I regress.
When I came off these medications so my Dr. could do the study (Motility I think it was called, one of three he did), I developed a burn and nausea where there was none before when I was on them.
So at the very least if I did not have the surgery, at least these symptoms would be controled. However, it leads me to another question.
What are the long term effects of taking the proton pump inhibitors and other like medications that either nutralize stomach acid or prevent it from being created?
Hi,
What symptoms you have?
What medications you are on?
Do you find relief with medications?
I would like to know these details before I can comment on fundoplication and BMI.
