    Acid Medication Medicine Reflux

    Q: I'm 25 y/o and have had asthma since the time I can remember. When I was younger I was always seeing a specialist for allergies and asthma and I have never really been able to get the asthma thing under control. My allergies through shots calmed down a lot but that did not help my asthma like it was supposed to. I don't rememeber all the medications that I have tried. I remember a lot of different inhalers and even a pill called "Contant-T" (I think) when I was really little (6 y/o). I do not know if that was an asthma medicine. After...

    Q: I have the kind of of Reflux that only affects the Upper Esophagus (bad taste in mouth, sinus reactioj).

    Acid Reflux And Asthma

    Q: I recently saw my gastroenterologist and when I told him that I just got diagnosed with asthma in November he told me that most adult onset asthma is the result of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), especially in women.

Would anyone know if this is true?A:Indeed there is a very strong correlation. I am 60 and have had asthma for 2 years. I too thought I had no...

    Acid Reflux Apple Cider

    Q: I have GERD (gastroesophogeal reflux disease) and am taking Prevacid for it right now. I read on some Health sites that you should avoid coffee and chocolate and tea, due to either caffiene or the acidic content, which can aggravate the reflux problem. My question is, when it gets cold in the winter, what does a GRED patient drink to stay warm if they should not have coffee, or hot tea?A:Many herbal teas are caffeine free. You can look up the healing properties of the various herbs in John Lust's *The Herb Book* or a similar work. Apple cider is great served warm. Heated...

    Acid Reflux Attack

    Q: A few nights ago, I started experiencing what I thought was a relapse into apnea. Although my mask and machine were functioning properly, I felt like I was having either severe apneas or a heart attack. It felt like something was expanding inside my chest. The sensation eased up a bit when I sat up or stood up. This kept me up all night, and I had to miss work the next day. I went to the doctor after this happened for three nights in a row.

    Acid Reflux Cause Cancer

    Q: For hiatal hernia w/reflux, I have been prescribed Prilosec 20 mg. once a day. I'm quite comfortable taking it, but worry about possible stomach cancer down the line, because of no acid secretion. Dr. assures me it has been used in Europe long-term with no reported cases of stomach cancer, and I think she said FDA is on the point of approving it for U.S.? Not sure. Because I'm nervous about Prilosec, she has prescribed Zantac 150 mg. 2x daily as a substitute. Says Zantac does not stop *all* stomach acid. With the Zantac, I still have to pop Tums several times a...
