Post Covid Worsened Asthma & Reflux Anyone?

Posted by covidstinks2023 @covidstinks2023, Sep 20, 2023

I have long Covid. Along with that my asthma has worsened along with reflux worsening. I had an endoscopy done in May with dilation and he checked for Candida (Yeast) in the esophagus. I was so grateful I did not have Candida (Yeast) in the esophagus. He diagnosed me with a hiatal hernia and said everything else looked fine. I have breakthrough pain right in the middle of my chest almost daily. It's hard to tell if its from the asthma, reflux or hiatal hernia. Asthma does aggravate reflux. I am on Protonix 40 mg in the a.m. & Pepcid A.C. at night. I watch for trigger foods and elimnate them from my diet. The head of my bed is elevated and I do not eat after 6:30 at night. I am working on getting a few pounds off. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Blessings to all....

Long covid leave me with gastroparesis, fatty liver, redundant colon and 5 weeks post op cholecystectomy. And some other issue. Anyway when it comes to eating, yes! Modified food, Pretty much prepared and cooked my food and small portion only, no solid food after 6pm.
