For about 5 months I've been having issues with swallowing food, feeling the lump in my throat/ excess mucus that won't come up and shortness of breath. I finally went to a GI and I was given an upper endoscopy. I was told I had an ulcer and reflux. I was prescribed pantoprazole. My question about how long after starting the medicine should I start feeling better?
How long after starting protonix does it start helping with symptoms of reflux?

1-5 days is normal but this one my not work. Sometimes a person has to try many different ppi's before you get the right o e for you. My aciphex (rabeorozale) works best for me but it took time. I hope you find relief

It does take awhile, I tried several before I found one that worked for me.
