acid reflux

[Guest guest]

About my problem:

 

Acid Reflux: Having chest pain and pressure in throat whenever I lie down

irrespective of whether it is after meal or before meal or early morning.

 

Other symptoms include:

 

Hoarseness in throat.

Feeling lump in the throat.

Flem in the throat in the morning.

 

One year before, it started with a mild chest pain in the mornings. Doctor( a

very experienced gaestroentreologist in my place) diagnosed after endoscopy and

an abdomen scan that it is hyper dyspepsia. The doctor prescribed some antacids

and asked me avoid spicy foods. In spite taking the medicines for three weeks

there was no improvement.

 

Tried homeopathy. It did resolve the digestion problems like flatulence, noise

and stomach aches.However i was feeling very weak and thus discontinued it. I

couldn't lie flat even with this medication

 

Althrough the past one year, i am sleeping upright in a sitting position.

Towards morning I slide down gradually but never lie flat. Even if i go down

unconsciously, it wakes me up in 2-3 minutes.

 

I tried Dr Walt stoll's Ginjer root juice. I am taking ginger root juice for the

past one week. It is helping in digestion. However the upper throat hoarseness

and chest pain is not gone. Also trying having water with apple cider vinegar in

the night before going to bed.

 

About myself: I am slightly overweight(96 kgs) for a 6.2 ft high figure. Until

age 18, I was very regular with exercises. After that used to play occassionaly

but it was never regular. A software engineer by profession, stress was there in

early days of my career but not now. I do stretches in the morning now. I had

stopped smoking and alcohol after the day i was diagnosed. I used to take spicy

food but not now. I drink lot of water since i had kidney stones earlier.

 

In spite so many attempts, I am yet to see any improvements. I have started

getting some side effects due to sleeping posture. I get back and neck sprains

sometimes when i get up.I am afraid I am going to see more side effects.

 

Of late, I am having the hoarseness in throat even when i am sitting upright or

standing. I feel a continuous urge to swallow and sticky feeling in the thoat.

Although this sticky feeling gives a sense of nausea, no vomitting till date.

 

I want to avoid surgery at any cost. I don't want to try prilosec since i have

tried that already.

 

Please help me any alternatives which can solve my problems. I want to lie flat

and sleep peacefully some day.

 

Thanks in advance.

Prem
