PPI weaning

I only had throat issues (possibly lpr) and began a PPI 7 months ago. It only made my digestive symptoms worse and I started having more traditional Gerd symptoms.

I’ve been doing a slow wean. Still have throat issues(never went away). During the weaning process I’m not having any pain but feeling more Indigestion like symptoms.

It feels swollen at top of stomach but not like a typical bloating feeling. Almost like my esophagus is swollen where it meets the top of stomach.

I’m nervous a hernia could be potential but I’ve only gotten these symptoms recently while weaning.

Does anyone else have this sensation? Like under breastbone above belly button. Just feels VERY uncomfortable without pain. Feels a bit more relaxed in the morning and worse after eating.

This is obviously an AI generated google suggestion however I wonder if anyone uses chia seeds to help soothe the throat? I used to drink them all the time with lemon wedges in my water. I enjoyed it but also know I would have to say bye to the lemons for now.

Just curious if anyone has seen benefit.
