For the last three weeks I have had absolutely awful acid in my throat (or what feels like acid). I have had spells of Gerd in the past but this time feels different in the sense I have no pain/discomfort/loss of appetite or nausea just awful acid burning my throat. Also weird that I don’t have it when I wake up, it gets worse as the day goes on. Not sure if it’s a coincidence but had a bit of a cold prior to this.
I have been to both the local pharmacy and the gp and have started omeprazole but still horrid.
I’m wondering now if this could be another symptom of peri menopause as I am in that age and can feel it creeping up, and also been reading about burning mouth but can’t see how that feels like.
I am taking gaviscon and ordered an Iqoro (waiting for it to arrive) but has anyone tips or hints that I may have missed? Got strepsils and vocalzone lozenges to soothe my throat too.
Ive had gastritis in the past so think apple cider vinegar a no. But at this point I’m willing to try anything (or most things!).
