Hello,
To answer everyone's questions and concerns at once:
Yes, I spoke to my PCP.
Yes, I am on pepcid by prescription from the surgeon to prevent ulcers while healing.
Yes, I did ask about possible return of GERD/reflux. Was told with the symptoms I listed it didn't sound that way.
My wife has allergies, she wheezes and coughs every year when they hit until she gets it under control. So bad, she uses an inhaler. (Diagnosed and treated by allergy doctor)
My PCP told me to start with Flonase, I picked it up and started it Friday after work and fell 85% better already. Seems like allergies it is. I will keep using the Flonase to see if it gets me to 100% or at least 95% haha.
Thanks everyone!
