sent me to an ENT dr. who scoped my vocal chords and found nothing wrong with them , and they think it is silent gerd, as I have no heartburn, etc...................I have been taking Protonix for four years, as I have AVM's, and my gastro dr. increased it to a second one a day to maybe stop the silent gerd, but then I started getting headaches, so I stopped the second protonix myself................I also have a large hiatal hernia, which I have had for years.................is that dangerous??? Otherwise, I am in good health for a 70 yr. old woman and only take one other pill and that is five mg. of Ziac for blood pressure.......................
