Horrible Reflux

Nothing to offer in way of answers unfortunately. I have reflux also and in the beginning didn't know it even had a name. Now 6 years later I'm very familiar with it and sorry to say it has only gotten worse. Every Gastroenterologist I have spoken to on it has said the same thing which is just keep taking your meds. Mine are Pantraprazole 80 mg per day and they are virtually useless. Every time I would complain how bad my daily symptoms were all they did was up the dosage. Ive had 3 endoscopies which pretty much came out normal so the meds are all they can think of to do. It's a living nightmare for me living daily with nausea, headaches, and the lump sensation always present in my throat. I must admit though that stress does seem to worsen my condition but I think it's the stress of worrying about another day of feeling horrible so it's like a vicious circle.

By the way I take Gaviscon from time to time but it's not very helpful either.

Why don't you ask about having surgery or stretta treatment, especially with all the symptoms you have . Good luck hope you find a solution soon and get relief.

Your Dr should be telling you what test you will need and ect... My GI Dr started with a couple of different test, my last test was the thing down my nose n had to keep it for 24hrs n I had to push buttons when I felt I had Acid, knots in my throat, ( which is always) n my next test is gonna be swallow test, I'll eat something like eggs n toast n they watch all this through X-rays. So Hopefully my Dr will know something soon. Good luck.
