Hello guys,
I've had GERD for some years now. I've experienced the usual symptoms of GERD and I'm quite familiar with it. However, lately I feel that my soft palate in the back of my throat is always somewhat irritated. I often feel as if I have some mucus draining from my sinuses, and tonight a weird feeling of food going up my nasal cavity. It was quite painful and despite blowing my nose nothing came out.
I was wondering if any of you have experienced something similar, and if this is related to LPR rather than classic GERD?
Thanks in advance

Hi Jay
I have reflux two years now and even though I haven't had what you described I do have a constant low grade sore throat with lots of sinus type headaches, are you taking ppi, have you been to an ent doctor

Hello Kate,
Yes, I've seen a ENT in December. He noticed some inflammation in my sinuses, he suspect it due to acid and allergies. He told me to increase my water intake and continue taking my meds. I'm on Tecta right now. I might have to go back to see him though.

Yes Jay another visit might help you, I'm on 20mg omeprazole twice a day, going back tomorrow to gp as they are just not working, suffering bad symptoms every day, list is very long, maybe surgery is the only long term solution

Hi Jay
Yes I have see two gi surgeons, even had manometry test done last June it showed night time reflux that's why I don't think the will ever offer me an operation to cure this, I'm terrified all the time that it will turn into something worse, some days are worse than others
