Reflux and Causes: No Metformin due to reflux??From: Ron (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 20 Aug 2003 17:23:50 -0500 (CDT)
Hi Randi, If I may make a few guesses.... You developed reflux after some injury to your esophagus... possibilites include... ...auto accident involving whiplash injury ...strenouous exercise involving heavy lifting ...vaginal delivery with lots of pushing ...working out at the gym with too many ab-crunches How am I doing so far? If the above is true then you may be a candidate for surgery. (to be avoided if possible.) If you are already on a high dose of a PPI, maybe you could taper off because it is known to cause anxiety and worsen reflux that might otherwise be less. If you are already on an anti-anxiety med, that is not in the family of klonopin, xanax, valium then you might ask your psych about trying a low dose of one of these... (usually less than 1 mg a day) If you reply, please make it obvious that the reply is for me. Good luck... Ron ----------------------------------------------------------------
