I mentioned in another post (mot everyday but often enough its an impediment socially)
That I sometimes have fits of feeling the urge to clear my throat and someone mentioned silent reflux. I just saw the throat dr and he said to take gaviscon (alginic acid) and to pursue the allergy shots I mentioned i was considering.
What other measures should i take to reduce or eliminate reflux? I also have an adjustable bed so im assuming its good to have it slightly sloping downwards so the head is highest and body is on a downwards slope with feet at lowest
Actual experience heartburn is quite rare for me altho I always kept Tums around and recently invested in a bottle of Gaviscon tablets
Thanks for the tip, Ill let my dr know and see if he can refer it out.
If you ever need me, just page me @cheese_greater and I’ll be by shortly if anyone gives you undue lip
I hereby release Thee
