Acid reflux and inhalers

Newproblems profile image

I have been on a Breathe Easy red inhaler for about 3 months. Formerly I just used a blue Bricanyl.

I am also on permanent medication for acid reflux, but I have found that the acid is much worse lately. Could it be caused by the inhaler?

Hi New problems as far as I experience it doesn't. i have acid reflux too and a change of mediciation. I tried ompreloze and esmpreloze and Ratindine to get mine under control. Just in case are you following an exclusion diet, raise the top of your bed and eat 3 hours before going to bed?

Acid reflux can change and go up and down that's what I told by a GP. Hope you get yours sorted soon it can be miserable.

Hi and thanks for replying. Yes I do have the bedhead raised and eat early. I'm on Losec (omeprazole) and also Gaviscon. I've had the acid problem a long time but it was just that this latest bout coincided with using the new inhaler so I wondered.
