help until I get my upper endo
by Paulie73, Jun 20, 2009 01:06AM
I have been living with controled acid reflux for a while now, but suddenly it is out of control. I have acid that turns on like a faucet in my throat, making me cough, gag and choke. This happens especially at night but has even plaqued me throughout the day as of late. My throat hurts all the time, my voice is barely there and I cough up flem (phlegm) and bile on a regular basis. I know about the elevated head, the not eating before bed and I am already taking double doses of the most potent acid drugs. I have an consult for a upper endo scheduled for July 7th, but is there anything that I can do in the meantime to be a little more comfortable?
