Alkaline "medicine water" healing reflux, colitis and upper respiratory infections.In my country (Hungary) we have this medicine water called Salvus which is drawn from a thermal bath. It has bold claim such as healing GERD, colitis, upper respiratory infections while also treating diabetes and peptic ulcers.I 31M have GERD and my doctor switched me off of PPI's to Salvus water and a low dose of famotidine. Since then I have pretty much non-stop diarrhea and my heartburn got much worse.My question, based on the ingredients, is this medicine water bullshit?Ingredients (mg/l):- Sodium: 5800- Lithium: 2.0- Chlorid: 2020- Bromide: 13.9- Iodide: 2.08- Fluoride: 3.0- Hydrogen-carbonate: 12810

Surprised a doctor is scamming you. Is it a real doctor? Alkaline water is a scam. Go back on the PPI.
Tension and Hoarseness, definitely. My voice becomes gravely and it tends to hurt to speak.Only one instance a few weeks ago, I couldn't get fresh air and from what I've been told, I blacked out. That was strangely because of some smells from a Kernels popcorn stand.I apologize for the mis-identified title. I understand the difference now. Thank you for your response!
I see laryngospasm occasionally in my clinical practice, and one is usually unable to breath to the point of turning blue. It occurs when a physical substance tickles your vocal cords: saliva, blood, water while drowning, etc.. not generally fumes. Rarely lasts more then a minute.What you're describing sounds closer to bronchospasm for which you're at high risk: asthma, smoker (yes I know it's e-cig... It doesn't make it harmless : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29847989/). My advise is to get better control of your asthma depending on the frequency of these symptoms and, well, you know this is coming: stop smoking. For standard cigarettes smokers, it can take 2 months for your body hyperreactivity to return to normal, not sure what the data says for e-cigs.
