Acid-reflux SOS

in 2nd Trimester

I know I am a first tri-er but I thought maybe those of you that have experienced it longer may be able to help! :) 

 

So, I am seaking help from anyone who may be suffering the same symptoms as I am. My acid-reflux does not come in the form of heart burn, but I have a horrible sore throat, and I feel like there is constantly something stuck in my throat. I am so sore for coughing, or trying to move whatever I feel is stuck...even though I know there is probably nothing physically stuck in there. It is embarassing for one, and it is so uncomfortable. I have tried rolaids, tums, hot tea, cough drops, we even bought a humidifier to see if it would give me some relief. Anyone experiencing these symptoms? Do you know how to get relief? I am desprate!!

 

Thanks!

    talk to your OB . they can Rx a few things- including Zantac/pepcid or a PPI like Prevacid, etc.

    As pp said, talk to your dr.  I take pepcid and it works great, much better than tums somedays. I hear zantac works great also.

    In addition to the medications, have you tried milk? I know that sounds dumb, but it works for me... I've had acid reflux even before I got pregnant. Since the milk is a base, it helps to cancel out the acid.

    Either way, hope you get better!

    I take Zantac, it works great to relieve heartburn.  For acid reflux I might try apple cider vinegar- watered down.  I don't know the ratio of water to vinegar, you could google it.  My friend used this for her acid reflux and she doesn't have any problems now.  good luck.

    I know your pain!! It feels like someone dropped a match down my throat! And I'm always trying to clear my throat, unfortunatly I haven't found anything to help mine either, my doc just gave me a prescription for nexium that I havne't got filled yet so hopefully that will help. Do yu have a prescription for anything?

    That is exactly how my acid reflux happens, a big lump in my throat and in first tri that made my nausea SO much worse.  Ask your doctor about Protonix.  My doctor prescribed this to me and said it was pretty much the miracle drug for acid reflux.  Unfortunately I was so sick all the time that I could never keep it down to see if it actually worked.  But they highly recommended it.  Hope that helps.
