Hi, bit of a background, i had a really bad stomach virus or flu and three rounds of antibiotics for a gum infection then a sinus infection after the stomach issues. After having some anxiety over my various symptoms, I have calmed down a lot but I am still having weird throat issues.
I have been on Omperazole and zantac etc for a month but I started to get weird muscle aches and undigested food going through me, so they basically made it all worse. My cracked tongue appeared after taking omeprazole and now I have stopped these i felt a bit better.
My symptoms now are a lot of gas, which makes me feel like I cant breathe occasionally, sometimes burning mouth/nose feeling, cracked sore tongue, occasional sores at the back of mouth and horseness. No heartburn but do occasionally get a fullness in back but it clears up when I burp. Also a lymph node under right side on chin seems to be slightly enlarged and I have throat pain this side only.
I have woken up at night choking before and often have a restless night. I had an endoscopy and ultrasound of gallbladder etc that all came back clear. Could LPR cause this but have a clear endoscopy? Surely there would be some damage down there? I cant find any food triggers and my stomach is still unsettled so wondering if its bad bacterial overgrowth or yeast. Dr just sent me to physiotherapy for aches and that's it as he doesn't know, but this has improved since I stopped taking anti acids. Not sure they even heard of LPR when I mentioned it.
Tempted to go to a different Dr or pay for an ENT scope but it seems like treatment is ppi's, which don't do anything.
Defiantly feeling a bit lost at the moment for a 31 year old who was healthy before all this and now I can hardly stay awake after 9pm as its just taken it right out of me.
