Hi am new to this. I was told I have a burnt voice box. From acid reflux by my ent, Whitchurch was feb 14"" I am still not right, I don't have the taste of acid in my mouth but get a terrible sore chest on the right side wen eating. They gave me asid tablets but there not worked, do you get a sore throat on one side from it,
I also have sore throat on the right side and burning chest on right side, and like you medication does not work and I have been diagnose as LPR REFLUX by ent. I think the reason why acid tablets don't fully work is because we not only refluxing acid but other digestive enzymes, bile,pepsin. Have you tried gaviscon advance.
I suggest you go to Just Passing Through a facebook page that will give you some background on this.
Hi Feb, yeah tried gaviscon, does not work the only time am ok is wen I am lying down other than that I feel like crap all the time
The reason your voice box is burnt is because the reflux of digestive enzymes (acid, bile, pepsin is passing your upper sphincter . Its a mechanical dysfunction of the upper esophageal sphincter. Have you tried changing your diet. Not eating three hours before bed, low fat food , no fizzy drinks,tea,spicy and citrus. I try to control my symptoms with diet which is hard but has to be done. Before i go to bed I always have gaviscon advance tablets.
I,ve been seen by ENT and had camera down my throat and I have had gastroscopy to have a test for h. pylori which I am awaiting results.
Have you had gastroscopy? If not that might be next step.
Hi, no I have not had that, I have had an MRI and a biram swallow, if spelt right, just waiting on the results, the changed my diet Whitchurch was hard to witch I still feel the same,
