I have had different sysmptons for months mostly throat burning and mid sternum pain alternating with soreness. I was put on prilosec with no difference then zantac 300 mg and now nexium. The zantac showed improvement. Then went to a gastro and he changed me to 40 mg Nexium with marked improvement. I had an ultrasound hyda scan both normal. I then had an endoscopy that showed stomach was irritated and and a raw spot in my esophagus. It appeared to be healing. I have changed what I eat and how with little difference. I was on 2400 mg ibuprofin for a foot injury for 9 months and lamisil for 2 months when everything started. When it started I stopped those two meds. I also noticed that the Lamisil would scrape all the way down my throat and get stuck exactly where I am raw. It is the only meds that has ever done that.I have never had stomach problems of any kind. I am still having burning in my throat of and on all day. there is no pattern. And I have a sore throat off and on again no reasoning to when. I may have it am or pm or not at all.I may burn once a day am or pm or I may not burn but hurt or I might burn all day long. I was wondering is there a better treatment. I have heard people taking nexium am and zantac pm? I think if I could get the raw spot better I would be fine. I really don't have heartburn except in my throat. My stomach doesn't hurt except at my sternum occastionally. But I am sore a lot.Any help anyone can give me. Is this considered Acid Reflux I am not sure my doctor ever gave me an actually name for it.
