Do you have increased coughing at night?

Thank you Kate. Glad to hear you are improving with PPI. I also suspect I have the GERD reflux. I now use an adjustable bed and stay 30 degree up during night. It seems to have helped a bit. According to the Facebook MTM group “Lung Matters”, we are not supposed to use PPI. You can check that group out to learn more. Best wishes! -Cao

@caontm Thank you, Cao. I use a high wedge at night to sleep and do not eat or drink for 3 hours before bedtime and watch my strict diet. I have done this for almost 4 years now and thought I had my reflux handled. But perhaps not. I am only willing to use PPI's as a 30 day test to see if this is silent reflux. I don't like what they do and I will check out the "Lung Matters" to see what they say. Thanks for recommending that. Kate
