Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I take Prevacid for reflux. Mine's not silent and seems to be brought on more by stress and/or excessive sinus discharge. I can't find any obvious relation to my asthma.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 i was on prevacid (similar to protonix) for a while for multiple ulcers and reflux. i also raised the head of my bed about four inches (to help the reflux). i stopped the prevacid (long story) and started having more night time asthma problems. i described these to my asthma specialist, and she had me try taking pepcid (40mg) at night. i saw a HUGE improvement. i have been on pepcid for almost a year, with great success. good luck with the protonix. i'd definately give it a try! heather <cox58asthma@...> wrote: Hi all, Does anyone have silent reflux disease? My Doctor wants me to start taking Protonix for reflux, but I don't have symptoms very often and am hesitant to add another medicine to my daily routine. She thinks this may be affecting my asthma. If anyone has taken this med for reflux and seen an improvement in their asthma because of it please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
