I most definitely have the chronic air hunger. I have had it straight for a year now. Had surgery this last year for acid reflux because doctor's thought this was the issue.....five months and no...
Trotters I would highly suggest you try Elavil. Start with 10 mg and work up to 20 if needed. It helped my sleep a Lot, it also helps to dull nerve pain. I have done a spiremerty test several times....
Did any of you find relief in some way shape or form? I have had this 24/7 for a year, been to all kinds of Doctors and still no answers....
I can very much relate to the original post. I have suffered with GERD/LPR for about four years now. About a year ago chronic air hunger started. I ended up having all the testing for surgery and...

UPDATE: It's been around six weeks now since I have had the Linx procedure. I have noticed improvement in all my LPR symptoms. I believe the breathing is getting better but it's VERY slow. I have...
I am not sure where you are reading negative reviews on the Linx, but from the extensive research I have done, I have heard almost nothing but good about the Linx procedure. Based on what I have...

Daxter, I am in a similar situation. What did your testing show? You should join the Linx group on Facebook as there are lots of success stories on there. What LPR symptoms are you having?...
I would say it's GERD. I had chronic shortness of breath (couldn't fully inhale) for about four months....almost drove me into a mental institution at one point. I am 99% sure it's GERD/LPR related....
7Stringer, I would highly suggest joining the Linx group on Facebook. There is an individual on there who has dealt with some very bad esophageal spasms for a rather long period of time. His name is...
I would honestly think that your 24 PH Impedance test would have showed something if you really had reflux. What was your DeMeester score from that test? Did you happen to know if they did any kind...
I'm afraid I can't really help answer your question. If you don't mind me asking what were you symptoms before surgery? I to experience a form of apnea but it only occurs when my reflux is very bad....
Kerry, I can relate to you. I have many of the same issues. I have had LPR for around four years but the last six months have been almost unbearable. It started with the acid vapors, throat clearing,...

I suffer from this exact same thing. I have been researching it for months. The blog post you mentioned is VERY informative. Based on what I have learned I believe the Linx procedure is probably the...
Yes, I have seen a couple different doctors and have tried PPIs on and off over the years. The PPIs don't really seems to do much for me. I am also only 32 so I would like to avoid the PPIs if...
My symptoms are as follows though some of them come and go....throat clearing, throat pain, throat tightness, acid taste in mouth, bad breath, shortness of breath, lots of cavities, and chest...

Vees are you active again like you used to be? Did you any experience any ear problems (i.e. dizziness or liquid feeling in your ear) from your reflux?...
Wow, our symptoms sound similar. What would you say you where on a 1 to 10 before surgery and what would you say you are now? Also, how hard was the Linx recovery for you?...
Vees, thank you so much for your reply! Can you give me more details on what your breathing was like pre-op (i.e. hard to inhale or exhale, what did it feel like, did activity make it worse, how...
So, I have read and re-read JPTs story regarding his LPR, breathing issues, and the Linx procedure he underwent. Is there anyone else on here who has breathing issues as a result of LPR and has had...
Vees, I am considering the Linx procedure for my LPR (worst symptom is breathing issues but I also have soar throat, throat clearing, bad taste in mouth, throat tightness, etc). How are you doing...

Daxter, have you had the 24 HR PH test yet?...
Daxter, I have had LPR for 3-4 years now. Roughly five months ago my reflux got really bad again. One day when I woke up I had chronic shortness of breath. I simply felt like I couldn't fully inhale....
worrywort87, I experience this and I have found several others that do too. I have a hard time inhaling and the restriction comes from the chest and/or throat area. It feels like it's impossible to...
GroverCat, what great news! Please keep us all updated on the Linx Facebook group. I wish you all the very best!...
I have done a TON of research on the Linx procedure including speaking with numerous people who had HHs. It think the key is that the surgeon needs to repair the HH. I am going to make sure the...
Did the Linx surgeon mention how successful the Linx device may be in resolving your symptoms? I ask because most of our symptoms are atypical....
Cameron, I experience most of the symptoms you have mentioned plus some. I get throat pain, throat tightness (feels like my throat it going to go closed), pain when talking, throat clearing (never...
What are your guy's thoughts on Linx for LPR? Do you think there are some people who's LPR goes away when reducing the acid/non-acidic reflux and other who have PVVN?...
It's interesting you should bring this up. I have researched MTHFR but haven't had any testing done yet for it yet. I was going to use https://www.23andme.com/ for my testing. Who did you use for...
