Hello everyone. Just been to docs today and he gave me Lansiprazole capsules for GERD. This is a bit of a shock to me as I've only just realised I have had silent reflux with the v worrying symptoms of food stuck in throat/difficulty swallowing a mouthful down in one go and breathing problems for at least 2 years maybe 4or5. I never get heartburn and I just put the other symptoms down to bad colds (kids and bugs eh!) and anxiety. So it's gone unnoticed. I also have put up with post nasal drip for about 6 year without doing anything to stop all the mucus running down my oesophagus (lovely!). I'm now feeling pretty low and ropey.
The doc said he didn't think I needed any further investigation but I am concerned I've done some damage. Has anyone else had these same weird silent symptoms? How do you manage them? Do you think I should push for an endoscopy?
