Hi all!

i'll keep it short... is it possible to get LPR from pregnancy? ive had no heartburn or indigestion so doc reckons its silent acid reflux which started in my 9month of preg. coincidence?

my symtoms include a very hoarse raspy voice which ive had now for 4 months. how do i make this better? i have constant congestion in my throat as well.

ive been given a nose spray to help clear the phlegm and been referred to ENT for an endoscopy . doc thinks i have LPR and has given me Lansoprozole . can i buy Gaviscon Advance as well?

i guess i just want to know really is there light at the end of the tunnel!!? does this clear up and if so roughly when??

what does the ent doc prescribe if its not the PPI you get from the GP? thanks all! im at my wits end x

    heartburn and indigestion tablets are things that can be bought over the counter at a pharmacy. Buy the drink version, because they are better than tablets they work faster and are more healthy to the body.
