I have LPR- had it since 1997- it is horrible- took forever to diagnose since I rarely get any heartburn- I have waht is called cyclical vomiting- when i am in the cycle anything I eat makes me cough and vomit and vomit violently- for days or weeks- sometimes even on awakening- always clearing my throat- NONE of the gastro- tests showed reflux- I have been on meds for years- was on twice the max daily dose of nexium for yrs but new ins wont pay so now on protonix twice max daily dose- was on reglan also over 10 yrs and all of a sudden I got tardive dyskinesia from it- very scary!when not in a cycle I can eat hot suace, chili, tacos anythign I want and have NO reflux- dr says possibly related to stress
Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.
Many times those with Silent Reflux or LPR also have post nasal drip so an antihistamine may be helpful.
I also know we all have to modify our lifestyle and diets in order to aid the meds...as they can not work alone.
Last it can take up to 3 to 4 weeks b4 u start to see improvements....so give it more time and modify ur diet ad lifestyle and see if u see a difference.
