About a month ago, I started getting shortness of breath, weak voice, slight cough, I'm on Losac and sometimes of late Gaviscon, I have Barretts diagnosed 05/ and go back sometime soon for another endoscope, how is it these meds worked this long then in the span of a month have no effect, possible hernia/ulcer?
Thanks Billy
Hello Billly,
Any chance of seasonal/environmental allergies? An irritant such as pollen combined with some reflux might trigger a noisy response such as the cough and voice issues. You might want to start with your primary care doctor. Certainly your endo is well timed just in case the GERD is causing the new symptoms.
Let us know what you find out.
