Angry Someone please help me!

I have LPR. The past week I had 4 pills (Prevacid) get stuck in my throat. So my anxiety kicks up and now I can't take the pill. My throat feels really tore up. I have not been able to eat solid food for about a week. I have been drinking about 6 Boost drinks a day. Is there anything I can do help myself be able to take the pill because its really killing me, especially not being able to eat at Christmas time.....

Thanks for your help!

Re: Someone please help me!

hi twig, i am so sorry to hear about this hun i am going through the same exact thing, I have not eaten solid foods for 2 months so far because of the LPR, what i do when i take nexium is let teh capsule soften a little in my mouth and then swallow a whole glass of water at the same time i swallow the pill, it still goes down so slow.. this has been so horrible hun so i know what your going through I had no idea how bad panic attacks could be I have gotten so many... and my anxiety is so bad also from this, i have been suck since about oct 22nd, didnt eat at thanksgiving and now all christmas, it is extremely hard so I know what your going through but in my case i was misdiagnosed i was told i had severe asthma-bronchitis, they gave me such a bunch of meds... and now at least i know whats going on and i am on 2 nexium now, i hope this pill helps because i am also at my wits end

i was told by a girl to take a product called rezyme--and also a naturopath said that acid comes from having an acidic body he told me to eat alot of barley and get the ph tests onlien to check teh PH, he says once you eat barley it will fix all this acid mess, i will let you know how it goes, just remember your not alone, and just pray that god help you through this, i didnt know i could be without eating for so long, but god has helpedme through this horrible time, god knows at soem points i think i will lose my mind.

Re: Someone please help me!

also when you try to eat put a tsp of apple cider vinegar in the water, that helps keep the acid down. lso are you on 4 acid pills a day?

Re: Someone please help me!

I am on Prevacid 2x a day. Everything solid seems to get stuck right above my right collar bone in my neck. When I talk after it gets stuck, it gets worse. I went to my GI today and he prescribed me a disolving type of prevacid. Has anyone had any experience with these? My ENT told me it was LPR.....Plus my anxiety...I just don't know where to start, it is getting VERY frustrating.....I have an endoscopy in two weeks.....Thanks for any help
