I have been curious about just how they diagnosed silent reflux... It seems a contradiction... Since you had symptoms that took you in... Did they do a scope and biopsies, or just diagnose from symptoms alone...
If the pain and gas have started since the drug, I suggest you talk to your doctor about trying something else.. What you describe can be side effects, or an allergic type reaction... You wouldn't want to be making your condition worse by taking a med that was actually hurting rather than helping...
As far as the Statins for Cholesterol... All I can say is that I can't take them... They cause major body pains for me... Apparently from what I have learned recently they may exacerbate fibromyalgia which I have been trying to ignore... Now I avoid all the statins, as a result of ending up in pain from each of the ones I tried...
When you got your prescriptions, you should have gotten an insert. I would read those closely to see if any of them might be causing similar symptoms to what you are experiencing...
Then of course there is the possibility of Eosinophilic Disease in the Esophagus... Similar symptoms, and they can come on at any age...
Hope you get this figured out and feel better really soon...
