did you have a endeoscopy? lately my reflux has died down. Did you have steady reflux or?
Mine was on/off for years - after one flare up that was recurring over about 6 weeks, it felt like a slight sore throat and I became worried years of earlier smoking had caught up with me so I asked my doctor for a referral to gastro ... turns out the lower couple inches of my esophagus had been taking long-term beatings and I had developed some Barrett’s Mucosa spots - the bottom one was cancerous.
Turns out the extended flare up may have saved my life because the cancer was diagnosed very early and I was told it was one of the smallest they had ever seen diagnosed - because it wasn’t big enough to be causing the discomfort and the acid burn that worried me made them catch it early.
Still needed radiation and chemo which meant a port and a stomach feeding tube which nobody wants.
If you haven’t had an endoscopy, I highly recommend you get one because if I had had one a year earlier, they could have cleaned everything up w/o the radiation and chemo and all the crap that goes with it.
