Welcome to Acid Reflux Blog
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to as GERD or acid reflux, is a condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (backs up or refluxes) into the esophagus. The liquid can inflame and damage the lining (cause, cause esophagitis) of the esophagus although visible signs of inflammation occur in a minority of patients.

nexium, why would this be prescribed for post nasal drip & unrelated to acid reflux? is there a connection?
Posted on November 12th, 2009 1 commentOther than doctors being obvious and unrepentant pimps for the pharmaceutical industry in general. The MD prescribed this only after a negative allergy test where no additional symptoms were found (other than the post nasal drip) and upon confirming I had a drug plan (which indicated the pills would be expensive). There was a question about getting heartburn (acid reflux) which yielded the answers; “yes, mild discomfort and maybe 5-6 times a year”.Related posts:
