Really sorry to hear your story.

I spend 2.5 years diagnosed with acid reflux due to waking up with a horrible taste in my mouth. It was awful, I’d wake up at 3am every night and could rarely get back to sleep.

After years of tests - they all came up blank. I was then referred to an ENT doctor. Diagnosed a nasal drip issue (mucus dripping down my throat) causing the horrible taste and I was virtually cured in 2 weeks.

When my GP asked the ENT to see me, he said he wouldn't because this was a gastrointestinal issue.

I'll visit a private doctor to see if they can help me.

What was the cure?
Sinus rinse 2 x daily (worst thing in the world first time, but after a week, a breeze) + 2 x nasal steroid 'sniff's). - It's not 100% gone, but now completely manageable using this
how was it cured?
