Christmas and LPR - Acid Reflux / GERD Message Board

CharBerry · 12-06-2008, 05:49 AM

I love the season but it's been bad for my LPR. Between bending and lifting Christmas decorations out side and inside, keeping my head down while wrapping pkgs, and eating all those chocolate marshmellow santas....I have had sinus congestion bad. Have had a hard freeze so ruling out allergies. So much mucus I feel it shooting up, always on right side, to my throat and sinus. Hoping I won't get really sick this Christmas and will have a voice.

Can any of you tell the Christmas Holiday season is making you worse by number uno, stress. But other things such as diet (all the cookies and candy), not getting enough rest, not drinking enough water, schedules thrown to the max. This happens to me every year.

Hope Everyone Has a Wonderful Holiday Season and hoping for a cure for this crap in the coming year

May be why I've been so bad this week. Went to cocktail party for work in Houston office and threw caution to the wind. Lobster melted in butter, lobster bisque, wine & cheese, bunch of raw fish that I don't have a clue, wine and more wine topped off with cheesecake and a chocolate fountain!

I tried to eat a hamburger tonight and it got stuck.

Are you doing any better? I've had the feeling of drowning or choking a lot?

Yes, yes, yes. The panic attacks are coming much more often! Forgot about that one and don't know how because I hate that feeling. Try deep breathing but can't because I don't feel like I can get a deep breath. Even had heartburn some and sour stomach, which that had been better before.
