My problem started with ear pain and pressure 1 1/2 years ago. My throat gets red and irritated and I have a constant cough. I have asthma and have been having a lot of trouble since last October really struggling to get a good breath. It sometimes feels as if I am not breathing properly. I even hear or feel a clicking or pop in my chest sometimes. I feel like I have a lot of post nasal drip that just sits deep in my throat. I can't ever clear it all the way. I just started Protonix 2x a day about a week ago. It seems as if I am improving, but all of my symptoms are still there. I can't figure out why some days are better or worse than others.

I also have a humming noise coming from my left ear that is random, but really bothers me. ENT can find nothing wrong with my ears and said it is Tinnitus. I wonder if my eustation tubes are being affected somehow as I have a lot of clicking and popping esp when I swallow or yawn. My left ear just does not feel quite right.

My ENT wants me to try the Protonix for at least 8 weeks. What do you think? Am I on the right track?

ETA: I can feel an intense itchy feeling deep in the back of my throat between my left ear and throat and the ENT cannot explain that to me.
