Thanks a lot for your suggestions and for your interest in my case.
Well, I saw an ear, nose and throat doctor in he said that my problem is acid reflux. I was taking Pantoprazole and I did not get any better. Yesterday I started taking ometprazole, (a suggestion from Terry @windwalker) and following her recommedations and I feel some reliefe today. I will continue with this treatment and reflux protocols.
Well, to answer some of your questions, I am 46 years old, I do not drink alcohol but I do smoke.I do not have carpets or pets but I am very sensitive to insect bites and yes, my skin itches all the time.
I will have to continue treatment in Colombia since traveling to the US is not possible now.
I appreciate your concern and good bless you.

Hello,
Sounds like you are feeling better. Smoking is a big NO NO. That could be part of your health issues. Do you eat spicy foods?
From what I understand the food in Columbia can be spiced up a bit. Insect bites are another issue. I’m sensitive to their bites, and get itchy skin also.
Best to keep your skin moisturized. Do you have a lot of humidity where you live?
46 years old is too young for all your health concerns. You could be setting yourself up for future lung trouble. I suggest you get help to stop smoking.
Stay well,
Funcountess

Jorge- I'm sure that you know that smoking is a big part of these troubles. Have you considered stopping? I smoked for 35 years and it's been 23 years since my last cigarette.
