Reflux

bug

So before being pregnant I'd never had a need for gaviscon or Rennie's etc. I started getting a bubble in my throat and I was unable to swallow. Doctor diagnosed reflux and prescribed gaviscon. Absolute life saver. However I have realised tonight I forgot to take it earlier and i realised I have a sore throat. I normally have a sore throat of some degree all year round but BB haven't had any for a few weeks. I've taken gaviscon and my sore throat is getting better.

Could I have had reflux all along and not realised it? I've had sore throats for as long as I can remember.
