Is my doctor doing this right 😭

Okay so I’m just curious about whether or not people have had a similar experience with their LPR diagnosis and treatment

For reference, I’ve had LPR symptoms for probably over a decade now. They started in my childhood. EXTREME post nasal drip, throat pain, and a really odd feeling like phlegm is trapped above the roof of my mouth (which side note - what the heck is that?? Has anyone else had that symptom or know what I mean by that?)

Anyway, I decided to see an ENT doc in early November 2024 because the pain was getting to be too much. He did a scope, and I had tests, scans, and a barium swallow done as well. He had immediately said it was LPR after the scope because of how bad my sinuses were and the fact that I couldn’t swallow at certain points of the scope 😭 so I got put on omeprazole, i don’t remember the dosage but it was 2x daily. When informing me about LPR a little bit, he mentioned the surgery that might be in my future because of my esophagus being such a little jerk. At least that’s how I hear things when doctors talk at me lol.

Had a follow up in late December…all he said was to double the dosage. Not much else. Yesterday (March 2025) I had another follow up. He did another scope. He barely said anything except for the fact that I still have quite a bit of acid reflux. He never asked me about how the meds were working (not very much lol) and he didn’t tell me what the plan is going forward…just that I have to come back in December of this year, soooo in 9 months 😭 yeah it didn’t seem normal to me. I’m just wondering if anyone has any thoughts! I’m not necessarily questioning my doctor - I’m just so confused lol
