It could be the Omeprazole, Kathie, who knows. I was bumped up to 40 mg for awhile, then told the doctor I would like to go back down to 20. One thing about the doctors I've had, is they always like to see me cut down on meds if I can.
Yes, you do seem to have a harder time than I do.
I am convinced that lifestyle, diet and emotional well-being affect me, so thank goodness, my new doctor and I seem to be a good match. We'll see. I don't remember if we're the same age, I am 82.
I have heard people say that pineapple juice helps. I don't know, but I like it so much, I just turn up a glass of it and slug it down nearly all at once. But I agree that water is the best.
You need to drink lots of water.it will thin the mucus so coughing it up will be easier I drink 6-8 glasses of water a day it really helps thin the mucus making easer to cough up
I have also found that biting into a lemon helps as well the acid will thin the mucus hope this helps

Hello . I'm sending you good thoughts , good vibes and prayers too for your ultrasound today !
I realized I can take more famotodine when I looked it up . I found out that the dosage for people with gerd can be 40 mg twice a day . I'm only at 20 mg twice a day so I doubled it ! Let me know what your ultrasound results are when you get them back
Good Luck too ! 🍀🍀🍀🍀
I'm going in for an ultrasound this morning for the swollen lymph gland. Praying that it will be ok. I'll keep you posted. Sometimes I take an extra famtodine when I think i need it and it does a good job. Doc said that that is ok to do. Have to jump in the shower, talk later. @A MyCOPDTeam Member Hugs to you Susan.....
