Can GERD Cause Chronic Cough In The Elderly Males?
My husband has had a chronic cough for years, on and off. He now has been diagnosed with afib. He doesn’t believe the two are connected. I’m not so sure. He is on Metoprolol and Eliquis. Can he take Prilosec as an experiment? He wonders if he has GERD. He is 63 and otherwise quite healthy. Thank you, Jeanne Kowalski
