Sudefed and reflux

Hello all! I was wondering if any of you find taking Sudefed with acid reflux helps with the congestion of post nasal drip and perhaps feeling like your lungs may be congested? I am just curious. Thanks for any replies!

Re: Sudefed and reflux

Sudafed does help me with congestion in general. I can't speak about it helping reflux congestion vs. allergy congestion. When I'm miserable with congestion, I just want to get it treated regardless. Watch the decongestants if you have HBP though. I had to stop taking them daily and now only take them temporarily when things are really bad because I developed HBP several years ago.

Re: Sudefed and reflux

Oh is that High Blood Pressure you mean? Luckily mine still runs nice and low. I hope and pray that doesn't change. I have decided only to take Sudefed as needed but not daily. It gives me muscle twitches GALORE! I had to see a neurologist and go through that horrible shock test where my arms and legs were flying everywhere while the zapped me. There was nothing wrong. Just benign muscle twitches. She said it was the Sudefed. Sure enough it was. I went off of it for a couple months and the twitches were gone.

But once in awhile I really need it. This whole thing is frustrating. Thanks for helping!

Re: Sudefed and reflux

I take Allegra D daily for allergy symptoms along with Protonix. So far I haven't had any bad side effects. It helps with post nasal drip, opening up my sinuses, and with stopping sneezing.

Re: Sudefed and reflux

Try taking mucinex as well. It really help with everything. Just make sure you take it with an antacid because it does sometimes cause additional heartburn. But once that goes away, you can actually feel everything draining and you will be much more comfortable.
