Yes, I also have a Hiatal Hernia and GERD.
Have just increased medication for GERD and it has reduced reflux but still coughing.

Hello Meg2024
I just had a visit with the pulmonologist who ordered anti biotics for me in hopes of helping me with the MAI infection that has been showing in the sputum tests. I am of the understnding that the anti biotics could help with my constant need to clear my throat of mucus etc. I am looking forward to seeing if the anti-biotics do help with that constant need to clear my throat of the mucus that comes up all on its own and causes that need to clear my throat. Probably hard to know if this constant need to clear the throat is due to the BE, the infection, the Hiatal Hernia.....or both or all. Due to the Oct. 2023 NJH test results for acid reflux....I don't have it. However at night sometimes have a burning tongue. Overall I do not have other symptoms that might be related to acid reflux. Glad to hear you have had a reduction in reflux.
