Infection? What does your gp say?
Hi, thanks for replying he said my X-rays looked unremarkable no changes in 6 months, when I mentioned the pain it isn't all the time comes n goes he just shrugged his shoulders and asked if I took gaviscon ? It's like a dull burning sensation, sometimes get same feeling in esophagus n ribs that's why I thought it may be related to reflux x
Shrugged his shoulders? How about a ct scan? Did he suggest that?
What medications are you on for reflux? Secondly are you on mucus thinning medications? lastly as your GP sent a sputum specimen for MC+s as this could be due to a upper respiratory tract infection.
Hi , badbesse, I've been on a few different meds for reflux , omerprozole, lansaproole im now trying pantaprozole just one tab a day, I did take carbocystien caps three a day but it was thinning the stuff but I felt like I was drowning ! So just now take one 375 cap a day, I've taken loads of samples in but never pick up an infection in all that's ever present is candida x
Sorry you haven't been well Carol; can't help with your problem but hope it gets sorted soon x
