Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / November 2004GERD and Sinus
I am new to this group. I have been having sinus problems for 9 months. I have a question, can GERD upset the sinus and make them pour out buckets of mucous and cause post nasal drip? >I am new to this group. I have been having sinus problems for 9 months.

So say some. I'm not sure that most in the field believe that, or whether there has been sufficient evidence of that. I personally have been on Protonix, one of the proton pump inhibitor meds similar to Prilosec, Prevacid, or Nexium for a few years now, due to an ulcer that was found in an endoscopy. (I never had heartburn symptoms though.) I don't believe taking it has helped my sinus and nasal problems at all. Is there anyone reading who has found that taking this type of med to treat acid reflux has helped sinus problems? >>On Tue, 9 Nov 2004 14:23:57 -0600, "smith" <ken.lashbrook@pearson.com> > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Is there anyone reading who has found that taking this type of med to treat > acid reflux has helped sinus problems? I have a bad problem with acid reflux and am using Prilosec. My use of Prilosec has done nothing to alleviate my sinus issues. However, my sinus issues may be unrelated to acid reflux too.

It probably would have to be fairly severe to be a major contributor to sinusitis. If there is a cough though it might contribute to that Well, that theory does exist. I have read articles stating that. However, I haven't read of any person whose sinus-rhinitis problems have actually improved due to taking these anti-GERD meds. (There may be such people, but I haven't heard of any. Look at the replies here, for example.) > MS wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > If there is a cough though it might contribute to that I take Prilosec and Pepcid AC for Gerds. Mine started after I had an ulcer. I have had allergies and sinus infections since childhood. Some days the sinus headaches get so bad I have to lay down, after taking Aleve. So nothing has changed with me having Gerds. shirley >I am new to this group. I have been having sinus problems for 9 months.
