I’ll love you endlessly asked:


I have had an ear problem for several months now and after several visits to my doctor that left him scratching his head, he came to a theory that I could have acid reflux. I described common symptoms like an acidic feeling that rises up through my throat. He said that could be burning my voice box and that area and my ear may not be the problem and my brain just may not know where the problem is. Is acid reflux very serious? He gave me some trial medication to see what happens. Also, how common is it for a 15 year to have it, because I am 15. Lastly, is it a genetic thing because my cholesterol came back perfect and so did the rest of my blood work. My blood pressure is great too. My dad has acid reflux so do you think it got passed down to me?

My husband had a mild cold about 3 weeks ago. After a week, he was still just coughing here and there. Nothing big.

Now we’re on to week 4. He STILL has a dry hacking cough that develops ONLY at 7:00 pm and is gone by 9:00 AM. That’s it.

He is using a throat spray to take care of the tickle, the cough really hasn’t changed. It’s a dry cough, similar to a smoker’s cough but for someone who isn’t a smoker nor is around smokers, it’s not quite that.

I’m trying to make him go to the doctor (for one, the annoyance level to hear it at 10:00 when he gets back from work). He’s agreed to go next week (for now).

Any ideas?

No, I’m not asking you to take his symptoms and make a firm diagonses. I just need some clue as to whether I should worry or not.

I’ve been trying to make him take Prilosec, just in case it’s a symptom of GERD. We just started it yesterday, so it hasn’t REALLY improved.

Im 28/ female and i have been having feelings in my chest of not beeing able to breath, but i can ( a tight feeling) and some chest pain with burning sensations in my throat. The doctor has ru tests on me including heart tests. Now they are telling me that they think i have GERD. Does gerd cause the chest tightness feeling? Has anyone else experienced this?

I have acid reflux, and I am currently taking Prilosec OTC.
It doesn’t seem to help, as I am getting alot of liquid in my mouth (even after I take the medicine).

So, what is the BEST medicine or way to help my acid reflux?

I have always had a problem with acid reflux. However, it has gotten worse now that I’m 37 weeks pregnant. I have heard that reflux can cause wheezing; is this true? I mostly notice it when I lie down for bed at night, but I never had this symptom with my reflux before.
