So scared please help

[Mj1]

I have been throat problems almost 2 months. It feels scratchy and burning. I have gone to ENT doctor and had throat Endoscope done twice. First time she saw a lot of post nasal drip in the back of my throat and she put me on antihistamines but that did not help. After second time scope she said it might be from acid reflux which i have never had before. When i swallow i feel either mucus or lump but it tastes gross. My anxiety is driving me crazy i don't know what to think. I also went to see GI nurse practitioner and she said to take Omeprazole 40 and Claritin D. Yesterday i felt so so good did not feel any burning or pain until In the evening i don't know i started thinking about it and my anxiety got me. I dont know what to do who to beleive and why this pain is bothering me so much. Please help any comment will help Me to relax a little. Also i am feeling very tight chest

Did the doctor ever tell you what the mucus looked like?
What does it taste like?
Do you suffer any seasonal allergies?
Do you have any other symptoms along with the burning sensation and scratchy throat?

Mucus was clear she even showed it to me. Other symptoms would be chest pain but i had this pain even before. It taste like i cant even describe more like when you cough and mucus comes out thats the taste. No i never head seasonal allergies before but sometimes i wake up my throat is so dry or even during the day throat gets dry.
Have you ever had similar symptoms ?

Take a look in this page, askpatient.com under Prilosec (Omeprazole) side effects. You will find that this drug causes a lot of weird symptoms and makes GERD/LPR (you probably have this) worst.

I have been on Prilosec for years without any of those symptoms mentioned in the askpatient.com website and it has basically removed all of the symptoms of GERD. That being said, if you have Acid reflux issues, stress/anxiety can make them worse. Give the Prilosec a week or so to work - it won't fix it with just one dosage.

I was thinking maybe you could have a mold or mildew issue in your home. That's why I was thinking allergies.

I’m glad that you are one of the few that don’t have side effects, unfortunately the majority of the patients don’t have your luck, I’m one of them and yes, you are right about the “stress/anxiety make things worse” but there’s a good chance that this medication can be the cause for this symptoms.
