Reflux, throat phlem,
Dear Doctor,
I am 42 years old unmarried man.
I am 107kg in weight with big tummy and I am 5 feet 6 inch tall.
I have been told I have GERD and asked to have PPIs. I am having Nexpro L and Nexpro 20mg for the past 9 days, I stopped it because of less symptom. I have asthma, I am taking Montek AB and Formoflo inhaler. Uriticaria having cetrizen daily for the past 9 years. High BP increasing heart beat on walking climbing steps upto 175bpm taking medicine Concor 5mg.
Endoscopy done in 2019 January report is fine.
For the past few months I have been eating spicy food from hotels, sweets.
Now I am getting reflux without eating food I mean in empty stomach, throat I feel like phlem, sometimes sore throat for the past few months.
My fear is I must not have Barrett esophagus due to repeated reflux.
Would Asthma inhaler Formoflo 250mg cause GERD?
What is the solution for this problem?
Why throat is irritating? Another endoscopy is required? Please clarify.
