Been sleeping I n recliner for a week. Thinking about taking an over the counter med with the pantoprazole until it is back under control. Any suggestions?

Your suffering from gastritis with larygopharyngeal reflux. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Head end elevation, take small quantity food with increased frequency. Use tablet nexium before breakfast for one week. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will do endoscopies and treat you accordingly.
