I have a nasty burning taste in mouth resulting in sore throat and sore inside ears.

My GERD symptoms were a dry, irritant cough during first trimester of my 1st pregnancy followed by vomiting. I would occur at any time of the day. I never had heart burn, but there is usually a strange taste in my mouth.

My doctor diagnosed my problem as GERD. My main problem is not so much heartburn but pressure when lying down mainly on my side. I also get a nasty taste in my mouth due to reflux. This happens most nights, but some nights are worse than others. I have found that not eating certain foods helpful as is not eating late in the day.

I have had GERD for probably 15 years. I have had good results with Prilosec for quite a few years. Then a couple years ago I started feeling like there was phlegm stuck in my throat with constant clearing and no results. I went to see an allergist thinking it may be allergies or postnasal drip. Sinuses perfectly clear. Started taking double dose of omeprazole, no result. I went back to the GI doc and had an endoscopy which was pretty normal. He prescribed Dexilant which hasn't helped and caused diarrhea. Went back to omeprazole 1x a day but still no relief from the throat clearing. Just started Aciphex. If that doesn't work may have to do the Bravo meter. It is very frustrating.

I developed severe acid reflux at the end of my second pregnancy. I developed a chronic cough that was initially diagnosed as bronchitis but when I developed severe respiratory problems that sent me to the ER I sought a second opinion and was diagosed with severe acid reflux. Since getting it under control I was also diagnosed with asthma and was hospitalized for severe pneumonia. If I don't take my medication (Zantac) faithfully I start coughing, wheezing and having throat tightness. I also have had a few episodes of regurgitation but mostly my reflux seems to manifest itself as respiratory symptoms and throat tightness but no heartburn.
