Thank you for your valued comments. I am not doing at all well with my reflux...thinking whether to go back on the Nexium to see how much better it is. However I will still be aspirating (if that is what I am doing hnow)...which is the argument against PPIs.

Curious if you have any feedback about the surgery for reflux with hiatus hernia?

Thank you for the Information about the salbutamol inhaler...I will try that.

Watching my diet for acid, but I do love the occasional pre dinner drink, coffee etc.

Thank you for your response.

Sorry, I do not know anything about fundoplication surgery and hiatal hernia.

Regarding reflux, are you stopping all eating and drinking 3 hours before bed, and sleeping at an angle? Do you know what triggers you? For me it's onions and dark chocolate (very sad!) I believe the reason for PPIs in lung disease, especially ours, is that they cut down on acidic reflux. While we might still reflux it won't be harsh acid. With your doctor find the lowest dose possible. During a healthy streak try to wean yourself and see how you do. Weaning can take 2-3 months. I hope this is helpful!
