Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Reflux question... Very confused!!

Hi,
As I posted a while ago, I have been having problems with my throat and my doctor said he thought it was reflux. He didn't give me any tests or anything (well, he looked down my throat while I said 'ahh') but he gave me a prescription for some tablets. I take 2 a day, one in the morning and one at night.
Trouble is, I haven't seen any improvement in my throat _at all_. I still always feel like something is stuck in there, or like it's swollen or something... It just comes all of a sudden, doesn't matter if I just ate or if I haven't had anything to eat for hours and hours. It doesn't matter if I'm at work where it's really smokey, or at home in the livingroom, or walking outside.. it just comes. When it comes, I also have trouble catching my breath. I've never had asthma or anything so I don't know what it feels like, but I can't take full breaths and, once again, it feels like something is stopping it.
The other thing is, one day I forgot to take the pill at nighttime and the next morning I was really feeling that burny feeling in my throat and chest.. I get heartburn once and a while, but it seems worse. Have I made it into reflux by taking these pills?? What if it's something else?? And more importantly, what else could I be 'cause I really am not enjoying this at all.
Any help is appreciated!!
