Jenna, not sure you are up and about so early, started a diet last year, cut out or down any number of things on advice from dietician, to lower cholesterol and bp. This is the third bout, admittedly over 18 months, but it's knocked me over again. Had been taking the omeprozole, but it didn't seem to be helping, perhaps i should take it for a lot longer, who knows.
Can't tolerate some meds, they mess up my stomach big time.
The coughing was only brought under control after some medicine from the doctors, as i had tried any number of over the counter cough medicines. I can't believe i have spent 6 weeks feeling as bad as this, floored me, and i am not fully back up. Had gall bladder removed some years back as i was taken into hospital with acute pancreatitis.
also have vertigo, and tinnitus which goes through the roof when catch the slightest cold, and for most of the time lost much of my hearing, i have tried the nasal sprays but they don't seem to be effective.
I have a ENT appointment in early feb, though i did ask if could be seen earlier if they had a cancellation.
the leaking doesn't seem to be wee, and as i recall someone else asked about this, and sqad gave his opinion.
I had been out for short walks, but energy level non existent so back home for rest. Not sleeping well at any rate, and so it makes everything much more difficult to handle. Pain around kidney area, and left side of abdomen, don't know what that's about, but it's been going on for 3 weeks. Doctor is going to have a prod around to see if there is anything suspect, and send me for a scan if need be. Had this reflux for years, tried to do a test recently to determine level of acid but funked it, can't abide anything that makes my throat tight, clogged, and so will have to find another way to sort that.
I had wondered about a hiatus hernia, and don't know how they determine that, but a friend had similar and it took the doctors 4 years to discover that was causing his problems.
