Diagnosed With Silent Reflux, Treated With Prilosec, Zantac, Sleeping Elevated. Will Nexium Benefit ?
I am a vocal music teacher and have been diagnosed with silent reflux. It is affecting my vocal cords and my ability to do my job.I have been treating with prilosec in the morning & zantac at night. Also sleeping elevated, trying not to eat spicey foods or eating too late at night. It has been over 30 days and I am not seeing much improvement with my voice. Do you think I might benefit from taking Nexium?
