Maybe: If the reflux and GERD is causing stomach acid to “back up” from your stomach down your bronchial tubes, then your bronchitis and cough will continue until the GERD is fixed. Potentially serious (over the long term) Really need to see your doctor

I am a 51 year old woman. I have GERD, have used Omeprazole daily for over 20 years. The medication no longer seems to be helping as I have acid reflux constantly. I also have IBS. Is the PPI causing low stomach acid making me worse? Should I stop?

Choices besides Fundoplication for GERD/hiatal hernia? Have asthma, and need to be able to vomit if I get mucus build-up. Protonix (pantoprazole) not enough for now.
