I've had Gerd on and off through my adult life and more so with each of my pregnancies.
I had the typical burning of the throat and hoarse voice at times.
After my most recent pregnancy the Gerd went pretty much straight away then I started getting indigestion.. With that is was the pain in the chest area which went away.
Now I'm wondering if my Gerd is back as I'm getting a gagging feeling at the back of my throat, mucous feeling there and I can't shift it, feels like a lump in my throat but that's not all the time, and it happens more after I eat, before bed and mornings are the worst times and if I've not eaten for a really long stretch say 8hrs it comes on.
I don't actually feel like I want to be sick but the gagging feeling is making me feel sickly.
It's driving me potty!
Medications I'm on are:
Ferrous Fumerate 210mg 1-2 tablets daily.
Folic Acid 5mg- 1 a day.
I alternate my days of taking them as I have a medication phobia and won't take medicines together.
Does this sound like Gerd?
