Gastric oesophageal reflux
I'm looking for some advice about gastric reflux..
I have had this for 2-3 months. It started with a bout of the flu, and
began with a feeling of tightness in the throat, as if there was a
paermanent lump ther, plus a lump feeling in the middle of my chest. My
doctor suggested that this was a referred sensation from oesophageal reflux.
Since then I have noticed much more 'heartburn' and discomfort. It is
not a problem when I wake, but gets worse as I get hungry, and is helped
by food. The sensation in my throat and down to my stomach is like
'peppermint' burn. I still have the feeling of a lump in my throat.
I am now on Zantac 150mg x4 a day, and antacids. IT's not really feeling
much better, eating helps, and antacids help for a short time.
Any help regarding therapies would be greatly appreciated, I understand
the burn caused by reflux can be hard to heal...
Thankyou
