@couchtater I am definitely trying to get all that in place! It's only been 8 months since my breathing has been just out of control so the doctors so far I think want me to try absolutely everything...
I am so scared of drugs. Period. Any uplifting success stories with this drug would be so very helpful. Thanks in advance....
@baronsmom My asthma is absolutely out of control due to this reflux issue. I also have RA which throws another layer of issues on top of my breathing. I am so scared of RA meds due to this airway...
Hello all, I have been on this LPR and RA journey since April after starting an RA drug called Plaquenil and an NSAID Meloxicam that for some reason set off severe LPR/airway reflux and stirred up...

PS-I also have constant mucous coming out of me feels mostly like from the back of my throat but some straight from the lungs. It's green in the morning and clearer throughout the day. Could this be...
Hello all, Month 3 of chronic feeling of being short of breath. It's not asthma (nebulizers only take the edge off sometimes) as told to me by my pulmonologist, it's not a heart issue as told to me...
Will those that had LPR (I got a "diagnosis" this past week by an ENT) that exacerbated asthma symptoms weigh in on the symptomology? I find that after I eat (about 1 hour to 90 minutes) like...
Hey law chick Did you have fundoplication for breathing issues as well? I forgot I think I read you were short of breath?...
Hi, Haven't been officially "diagnosed" but my asthma became an entirely different animal over night. I used to have mild moderate asthma now I'm glued to my nebulizer. Constant shortness of breath,...
Anyone still on this thread? I have constant shortness of breath all of a sudden for 3 months straight. I have underlying issue with asthma, but my inhalers and nebulizer are rendered useless with...
Hey not sure if you still visit this site, but i am having these issues. Shortness of breath, burning back of throat, lump right in the middle of my chest and I can't yawn! So frustrated....
SharonZ- Agreed. Believe me if this is something that can be handled in any other way I'll be absolutely thrilled! Surgery is not what I consider a Small thing. However I'm preparing myself for...
SharonZ- According to Jamie Koufman suddenly worsening of asthma is almost always a sign of reflux that's bad enough to attribute to LPR or AR. I'm just worried about the damage that's being done...
Sharonz- My gastro appt is on Monday. ENT on Wednesday. I have read that with chronic asthma patients the GERD is actually not so suddenly onset. It can be silent for a long time. I think maybe...
Elke55- Your symptoms sound just like mine! Did you have any sleep apnea like symptoms as well? I find i am absolutely exhausted because I think my body is waking up in the night not breathing at...
LInda Sue- It absolutely is the worst side effect of all this. I have an asthma issue anyways and add this to the mix I haven't slept a full night in months. I've read that when pulmonary issues like...
Anyone in the southwest (AZ, NM, CO) area have recommendations on a great surgeon who is highly skilled around here? And did anybody travel to have theirs done by the best and how did it work out?...
SharonZ- Wow that gives me so much hope! I developed my symptoms really fast and furious. For a little over 2 months my asthma went from a little nuisance to full blown coughing, tightness, phlegm...
Elke55- Wow that's incredible news. Yes I am very weary of surgery but thinking back on my asthma history I'm wondering if this has been my main problem for a long time. I remain hopeful that the...
Hello All, Glad I found forums like this because I was starting to think I was a lone wolf. I've had asthma my whole life been on control medications since I was a young teen. I even went off them as...
I am in the same boat it seems. Constant shortness of breath, cough, mucus, but asthma docs say my asthma is fine because lungs are clear and O2 is great. I feel the reflux here and there it burns...
