hi all

iv had uncomfortable times with slight reflux but 6 weeks ago feelings of something stuck or pressure feelings in my chest/throat sent me to the doctors.

the main problem is the stuck feeling, and when eating/ drinking the feeling that it is slow to go down.

i have been taking lansoprazole 30 mg for one week, nothing has really changed other than now I feel I have a bit of a cough and a sore throat.

should I give it the 4 weeks iv been prescribed to wait to see progress or should I have felt better after a week.

Am I worrying too much.

thank you for any comments
