Discomfort in the morning
by Keny__0, Oct 22, 1998 12:00AM
Hi there. I have posted a few notes about my GERD previously. 2 weeks ago I went to do an Upper GI gastroscope. The image showed that I don't have cancer and ulcer in the esophagus and stomach but I do have inflammation in both places. The bacteria test was negative. I was prescribed with 1 month of cisapride and famotidine. After taking two medicines for 2 weeks, I feel better. Now my symptom shows up mainly in the morning after I get up. I feel a bit swollen in throat. That's all I feel. It usually subsides in 1-2 hours time. Could someone explain to me why I have such feeling? Could this GERD be cured anyway? Thank you very much.

dear kenny,
GERD is a chronic problem and can fluctuate in severity. Your current symptoms may represent reflux. it is also possible to explain your symptoms on the basis of sinus problems or post nasla drip. Try sleeping with yhe head of your bed elevated approx 6 inches and see what happens to your symptoms.
