    Acid Reflux..

    Many of us suffer acid reflux as a result of treatment.. Myself and many are prescribed meds or proton pump inhibitor (PPI)

    Something similar to Nexium, or Protonix for me...

    Still alive, when I wake up the first thing I do is to thank the Lord for another day. Hope and pray you are also doing well

    Yes acid reflux can cause......

    For acid reflux your PCP can do all your meds but you need to see a Gastrologist to have it checked, not an ENT. The ENT might see damage it has caused. It can be one of the causes of throat cancer and also Esophagus cancer which is even worse, and it can give you Barrett's esophagus. You do not have to get heart burn and can still have GURD or even LPR which is the same except it goes higher an into your larynx. Mine I had before I got the cancer but it did contribut to geting it, but smoking was mostly what caused mine. I have to have Rx for mine and even take it twice a day to keep in under control. If you think you might have this, do not sleep on your right side as your stomach will let the acid drain and gravity will let it go to your throat, sleep on your left side and rase the head of the bed as well. Take care of yourself.

    ent yesterday

    he checked me well and all is clear he is sending me for the acid test.....I also am starting to discover it mite be something totaly different. I have a ligament upper left roof of mouth that gets irritated from grinding my teeth which causes all that part near my throat sore my ligament is a little oversized.........i need a night guard.....so I will see The ent didnt see any form of gerd irritation but he sure kept that scope there a while..
