I ha e been on omeprozole 40mg twice daily for almost a year. I started with a cough about 2 years ago. I had chest X-ray, breathing tests and was given asthma inhalers to try. This was no help. And no signs of asthma. Was using allergy Meds also. I went to a ENT and he used camera up nose and down throat. He agreed allergy and acid reflux combined. My cough is better when I take omeprozole twice daily....but I have a constant burp....it gets to a point where I can struggle to swallow (air, not food) as air is trying to come back up. Air seems to come from higher up, not stomach. I DO NOT COUGH or burp LAYING DOWN !! As. Said cough is better, but still a constant irritation that leads to a low cough or clearing of the throat. I believe this is gastro more than anything. I am also on BP medicine....I have been on 3 different ones...because they thought original cause if cough....but no real changes there !! Any suggestions ?? It can become debilitating at times and exhausting !!
