LPR/Silent Reflux Symptoms 

Anyone experience shortness of breath from silent reflux? I have to sigh all the time like once ever 3-4 mins to catch my breathe. I have this all day everyday

I was diagnosed with GERD in 2015, was told to use pantoprazol (zomac) till it got better, I used the medication for about 3 years and was fine, suddenly one night I woke up with coughing and mucus in my throat, and it happened again, and again and again. I tried to drink some milk, but it only made it worse. I could actually feel my stomach acid going into my breathing tube, which then activated asthma attacks, and it was going around every night. Shortness of breath, mucus in throat, hoarseness, back pain, coughing, lump in throat, asthma problems, dry mouth etc. We are going through it together people ❤ We can beat this!

I’m more than happy to discover this channel. I need to thank you for your time for this, particularly a fantastic watch!! I liked every little bit of it and I have subscribed you to look at new posts all the time.

Stress and anxiety definitely is part of it. When I got covid my main symptom after having fever and chills the first two days my throat became terribly sore. It went on for like a week and a half. After that my stress levels went up and not having a job made it worse also. What I didn’t realize until later was it was causing acid to run up while I was asleep which inflamed my throat and tongue tonsils and taste buds. The esophagus sphincter from stress im thinking created to not work properly. So now when I eat, I can’t feel the acid coming up but definitely feel it in my throat and I can taste it. I’m battling against it meanwhile back of tongue and throat is inflamed a lot and it’s horrible. Can’t enjoy and always thinking about it. What so did notice after I changed my diet to more alkaline foods was it made a difference. Also, taking probiotics and eating in moderation and slowing it down works. At night I’ll take a gaviscon to keep acids down. Now I’m trying to figure out how to fix sphincter naturally. I also believe in prayer! Good luck everyone with it

My son has suffered from this from birth and is now 13 , this is so horrible it breaks my heart to see him misdiagnosed by the doctors. No one wants to help me , I am glad you understand. I hoping I can get him seen very soon I don't want him to suffer anymore.

you explained that perfectly it is honestly hell living with lpr your quality of life is gone not one bit is left you just spend every second of your life clicking and clucking your throat open because its dry and tight

Can this condition affect the ear as well? I have a sore throat for weeks and clogged ears, painful as well...

What should I eat or do with a severe onset, first time, throat closing LPR episode?

My $1000 hospital bill is here because of this shit. Lump in the throat, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, chest pain while swallowing. Got all the tests done and everything is fine but I’m still experiencing it!

I'm in the same boat as everyone else and it seems nothing is working so far for the past year for me. I feel just "pulling" sensation on the right of the throat when I stretch my neck.

If the ues is below normal on a momentry test can that cause issues I have gerd and in the momentary it said the les is normal

I have been dx w silent reflux-LPR in 2013 w respiratory reflux also silent by Dr. Jamie Kaufman in NY. I had a fundoplication in 2013 (linx was pretty new here then). It worked about 10 yrs, but having respiratory issues again. Is the LINX an option after a fundoplication. Can it be placed above the fundoplication?

I feel like i have swollen stuff in my neck and a sickly feeling. Is anyone else experiencing this?

throat and chest clearing , not much cough but throat clearing is a lot in me . tried some antacids . not working . the only thing works is when i dont pay much attention to it

Can morning air hunger be a symptom also harse voice, throat clearing?

Does anyone get a sharp chest and neck pain with this? Chest pain just below the collar bone and neck on the upper left side under the mouth

I've had a dry cough and chest pressure for 3 months now. All test have come back normal. I have a "fatty tissue" in my suprasternal notch which did not show up on my CT scan. Could this be hindering my upper esophageal sphincter and be the cause of the air in my esophagus and acid reflux?

Have 7 of them. Diagnosed with Gerd in Feb 2008. No more spicy food for me. Been on daily meds. No longer Zantac. Also diagnosed with COPD around the same time.

I’ve had bad indigestion for a month now and heartburn that accompanied. Took Prilosec, got slightly better, then moved on to Pantoprozole, felt terrible, and now I have this symptom of having to clear my throat due to the sensation of a lump (but no heartburn)?! No idea if it’s LPR/etc. but is there a way to tell if it’s due to stomach acid or allergies? My indigestion is still prevalent and I don’t sleep that well anymore… use to have no issues with GI or sleep before I got covid then these issues.

Dr. Can vit deficiency cause this issues... I am also having chest pain and nerve pain since 2 months there is no medical explanation for the same according to the cardiologist and other doctors I have done endoscopy also... Can all these be a symptom of vitamin deficiency

What do you do if your all the way in Canada. I have all the systems except for coughing, only minor coughing once in a blue moon. Sore throat, ears, tight sore chest and back, heart palpitations, ugh..

Covid gave me reflux. 4.5 months in.. anxiety only makes it worse. It basically changed me as a person. Would be soo good to get relief already.

Can it just be bad breath and salty mucus in the back of the throat?

Useful information video thanks

I have a constant red throat and it is sometimes sore, occassional tickly cough and really bad post nasal drip.

Has anyone figured out a solution for mucus being stuck in your throat after eat from reading the comment i see i may have lpr but its the constant throat clearing and mucus that so bothering any suggestions on how to get rid of it ive tried salt water Mucinex allegra sudafed mullien tea if i throat clear it just comes right back steaming hasnt helped either

I have been suffering from acid reflux with stomach pain and chest pain for the past 9 months! I go through pain every day! I do not know what else to do! I've been taking so many antibiotics and nothing... I wasn't going to work anymore, until I came across Dr. Emovon on RU-vid. Thank you for doing everything that you do and helping me during a hard time. I'll definitely spread this to the whole world, I'm totally free from acid reflux..🙌🙌🙌

I have had silent reflux for quite a while now, but for the last 18months I have had no voice above a whisper. Am on amoprazole, Famotidine and Gaviscon, but makes no difference. I have waited over a year for ENT appointment.

My two major symptoms are hoarseness and the sensation of swelling in the throat (maybe the same sense of "lump" as others put it). I did have acid reflux before. It was so acidic it literally woke me up from sleep! I have since taken pantoprazole for 16 months now and no improvements at all! I do not smoke, never drink, have quit coffee, spicy food, tomatoes, etc, have raised the front legs of my bed by 3 inches plus s pillows. No improvements. Did endoscopy and it was completely normal. Did esophageal manometry and 24 hour pH probe and am waiting for the results. Have seen two family doctors, one ENT doctor and one voice specialist, not very helpful. Can't trust any doctors and have to do my own independent research online.

I have mucus in my throat and I am also having trouble breathing specially when having sour or spicy food. I went to gastroenterologist and did my endoscopy and now after visiting a psychiatrist because it was referred by the gastroenterologist, everything they said was that they couldn't diagnose anything and I was given PPI's and antacids. They seemed to work for a while but not anymore. I'm 20 years old and I've given hope on doctors this is very depressing.

Do they have an clinic or is there something equivalent to this in sweden?

I have Low Stomach acid but no heartburn or acid. When i have the indigestion immediately after eating, I can't take a full inhale of breathe or yawn. I have to 'force' burps out, but because i force out for a little relief, although burping doesn't help, i then get excess saliva in my throat. I have to keep swallowing, like my saliva doesn't go down windpipe. The saliva is in my throat, but doesn't go down. I've tried drinking more water, but it doesn't help. How can i ease / get rid of this excess saliva? it is not acid, it's saliva, it doesn't burn and has no taste. Thanks

This crap makes me dizzy as well and I get anxiety panic attacks. I'm going back to my green smoothie cleanse, it was hard at first but that was honestly the best I ever felt! That was back in 2017, now that I went back to eating whatever, eating fast, eating before bed, eating around 8 or 9 pm and laying down right after eating I'm back on the reflux boat and it sucks. Picking that cleanse up again.

Hi. I’ve had clear mucus/phlegm stuck in my throat (Adam’s apple area) and I can’t swallow it nor clear or cough out. It’s annoying. No odour or pain or any burning . I have no other symptoms except the mucus in the throat. Why may this be? I’m 15 years old aswell. I’ve had this mucus in my throat for 3 months now.

Im having a 48 hour bravo test done by my gastroenterologist. Would that test be able to diagnose LPR?

Hi Doctor,I have what sounds like lpr,my throat swells,I get a lump in my throat and my tounge is sore also I don't have much saliva.I am taking oxycodone and have an incisional and hiatial hernia,could these be causing my issues.Thankyou

Shortness of breath kills me...my doctor said my oxygen level is 98 but why i feel suffocating.. lately a breathy breath develops...pantroprazole never help...make it worst...dunno why

I had also this kind of symptoms.. I was diagnosed with GERD after I had surgery my surgery with my Ovarian Cyst.. I had difficulty yo sleep that time and my OB-Gyne gave me a Diphenhydrochlaramide and said it will help me to sleep but it worsen my acid reflux.. I can't breathe that time that I need to have oxygen. I felt so disappointed because my ovary became ok now but I had this my GERD and I think that injection triggered my acid reflux and worsen my condition. I wish I would be ok.. I felt difficulty in breathing especially when i bacame stressful and I lose hope but still praying to be healed. We can do this 🙏🙏❤❤❤

I am from Mexico, according to what you explained and what I feel I have LPR Is any way to have an appointment?

I’ve just been diagnosed. My sinuses and ear are infected as a result. Any tips?

I have LPR pretty bad. Gaviscon Extra Strength and Advance work for me. So does not eating anything. At all. H2 Blockers and PPIs don’t work at all.

My cough starts when I talk. So my words just fizzle out. I gave up spicy food and now on a diet of plain porridge and sometimes mash potato. I just started ppi meds. I work in an airport and I got to speak with everyone so this craziness will mean I lose my job and I can't do anything else but the job I got.

I have LPR but why did I get it in the first place? I’m not even overweight But I have been drinking wine 🍷 every night in moderate amount and falling asleep right away for many years If that was the contributing factors, can it be reversed or permanent? It looks like when the sphincter muscles are damaged it may never be reversed as in my case my symptoms are lingering with no meds can relive them

I honestly can’t deal with this anymore. I’ve tried everything from antihistamines, antibiotics, acid reflux meds and nothing has helped so far. I’m beyond miserable. Haven’t slept in weeks. I need help please!!! 😭😭 anyone that had any sort of relief please let me know

For the past 4weeks ive been suffering with shortness of breath, ive been having the above mentionned symptoms, and ppi dont seem to work im 26 and im feeling drpressed, pls what can i take

Have someone also experiencung like a speech problem? I been diagnos of Gerd and also undergo with endoscope and the ENT doctor said that the acid scratches my throat or larynx. My major problem since then my voice change, more often I experiencing shortness in breathing everytime I speak so my voice sounds like crying because somewords didnt come out. I have been dealings this for a decades .

11 yrs ago I was diagnosed by a specialist with LPR when I lost my sweet taste buds (constant sour taste) and feeling like I had slight lump in my throat. Also, I was chocking on crumbly types of food like crackers & coconut. I didn't have the heartburn back then, but these past 2 years, I'm also getting heartburn now & then depending on what I eat & how much stress I'm going through. A couple antacids helps with that, especially before bedtime. And yep, depending on the atmosphere, I get the nasal drip. But I still refuse to give up on spicy foods! :P

Can lpr cause periodic feeling of a scratchy throat that almost tickles? Sometimes it feels like there is dust in there or something and that is what triggers the cough.

I have had all these symptoms but is having a hot face and sneezing ans cold or allergy symptoms part of it

I thought I have angina or asthma ( at last pneumonia) . Done EKG echo . Nothing wrong with heart. Than later I had feeling tightness during swallowing and like something is stucking in my throat.Now I connect it possibly with so called " gerd" . But stomach is last thing I would thing about as a cause. Should I do gastrostopy or what?

Hello I have constant throat itching, rarely dry throat , lump in the throat feeling before sleep and phelgm for 3 months which makes me clear throat often. I also feel post nasal drip once in 4-5 days when I wake up. what is wrong with me? is it reflux , sinus or something else. Need help guys.

Please help. Been suffering for almost a month. I feel something my throat. I can spit out mucus but there is still something in my throat and it doesn't go away. And also every morning when i wake up, my throat dries. And also if i exercise, my throat dries easily. And also my ears hurt and like around my eyes. Please help thank you very much

What PPIS come in liquid form that really help? I have that bile lump in my throat:(

I have the frequent swallowing issue along with sinus pain nearly 24/7 since the past 5 years. It really sucks 😞. I dont know if I have LPR, i saw many doctors including a couple ENTs but they said my sinuses were normal, just that i had thick mucus. I have no heart burn, no hoarseness, no cough, no lump in throat. Maybe a couple times a week my throat regurgitates something from my stomach but thats it.

I miss my life, my life befor I got diagnose an LPR. This is so hard☹

I was diagnosed with acid reflux/GERD in December of 2019 after and endoscopy. For a few months I’ve been noticing a Rice Krispies type sound in my throat. It’s not constant but what the heck is it? Anyone else currently experience or ever experienced this? Also when I move my head or sometimes just even walk, swallow, etc there’s are single little pops. I don’t know how to describe the little pops but they’re in my throat. It’s like a light gurgling or something. It’s weird as heck and it isn’t painful but it’s driving me crazy and is very annoying. Please help, anyone 😫😕

These twins dressed alike and talking to each other is a great idea. The twin facing right is very intrusive though. The left facing twin doesn’t get flustered however, he’s cool.

Camera work, brilliant 😅

I was treated 5 years for silent asthma and it turned out I had silent reflux

I]ve been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for years...keep them under control. I avoid researching these things online because it leads me to terrible conclusions but I do believe i have this issue. Lump in my throat, strange feeling somewhere in there, feeling the need to burp and what not..but no heart burn or anything similar. Heart skips beats sometimes due to my stomach being kinda nervous...

My drs can’t tell me what’s wrong been through several drs I can’t breathe after eating

I don’t really have throat problems all I’ve been noticing is that when I wake up I feel a slight bit of phlegm in the back of my throat which is hard to clear and a small stuffy nose I’m curious is this LPR.

It's the coughing that gets me feeling run down. Constant feeling / need to clear my throat. It's literally every few minutes of the day 😩

I have sore throat and uncomfortable breathing for last seven weeks and I have no cough/fever/cold/heartburn. Can it be silent acid reflux?

I wish I was in UK he could do my link surgery

I only have postnasap drip in my throat - nothing else. I eat healthy, no alcohol, no cigarretes, no bad breath, no breathing problems, no heartburn. Blood work, swabs from throat and nose are good and ultrasound on all inner organs is OK. Wonder if it could be LPR?

Hello ! Please respond doc. I have esophagitis type 2 .. very close to 3 where i can die :( My symptoms are problem swallowing saliva / food followed by ear pain that is very disturbing.. I'm taking esomeprazole for 1 week but there is no good feedback . I don't feel any heartburn , but in the morning i feel i have some white liquid in throat.. I'm afraid to take motilium , don't know if helps , but i heard it has a lot of side effects ... I just want to have back my heartburn , cuz this is even worse .. I'm eating more serious now , but i feel there will be a bad ending for me..

my neck/throat muscles are in pain for a month, and i feel like having asthma, cough without mocus and short breath. is this acid reflux?

I have ,a side of my throat is swelling..then after it goes down the swelling and starting to burning throat for hours continuously..after that im getting breathing problems..i have perristant hunger also..any remedy..

I used to have lpr probably caused by a small hiatal hernia should have gotten an endoscopy then. I made my hernia worse while working out and now I have GERD

My symptoms are tickly cough (tickle sensation in chest area), mucus, clearing the throat. I had it for years and sometimes I feel frustrated and just don’t want to live…

I've suffered for a long time with lpr. I've been following the acid watchers diet for a year now but I still have globus, throat clearing and difficulty swallowing. It's so frustrating:(

Hello When I laugh and have my dinner late. I feel chest congestion and cough. Happens only at night. From 2 years I have been suffering from sneezing and itching in eyes. I consulted an ENT speciallist he said I have allergical rhinitis. I came to my hometown on the very 2nd day I chess congestion with lot of mucus. I consulted general physical (family doctor) he prescribed me Monteluklast L. And I'm having it. And I'm good. But when I stop eating the medicine. The condition again reoocure.. Is there any permanent solution for this?

Ive been suffering for nearly 2 months with at first dizzy short of breath like my air way was blocked i was seriously scared i could not get to see anyone because of covid-19 so i got a random online phone call consultation with my doctor i told him about my lump in throat sensation nasal blockage he thinks i have silent reflux i also get throat gurgle and a noise inbetween my nose and mouth cavity like a flap moving noise . ive not spoke to the doc since its near impossible i have been buying sinex (sinitus) spray and acid tabs going tablet a day and literally snorting the crap out of these nasal sprays which makes life about tolerable but its never ending its like a sensation of my inner face nasal is wrecked any advice anyone? Also i was that scared i walked to the hospital as at one point i felt like there was no flow of air and the basically said you wont die right now that was that so now im a tablet and nasal spray daily user

I’ve been having these symptoms for like two weeks: - constant tickle in the throat that always makes me want to cough (but I’m able to hold it). - super dry throat(the dryness even wakes me up at night) - A lump/mucus in the throat sensation(which I had in the past). - Difficulty swallowing as if foods get stuck in the throat and not going down smoothly - Shortness of breath and chest tightness that keep making me want to take deep breaths. No pain. COVID tested negative. Got brushed off by my GP with anxiety, I was like gosh here we go…and come on if I would have an anxiety/panic attack, it must be triggered by the throat problems, and not the other way around. So I had to research it myself and it looks like LPR but I’m not sure. I don’t feel any heartburn or any acidic taste, but I do have some belching. Tried Gaviscon and didn’t seem to help, got prescribed PPI and I’m not counting on it to much either…It’s really frustrating.

I've woken up several nights in a row with no warning to vomit. It's already in my head and sinuses, like I'm drowning, and it's all fluid. The headache and sinus pain and pressure is unlike any type of pain I've felt. Does anyone else have this issue? I've never felt like I've had reflux or heartburn type issues before, but this is definitely an acid issue. If I sleep elevated, it doesn't happen. I'm been researching all I can today.

Omg...yep I have most of the symptoms describe here. On a few occasions food got lodge for 48 hrs...I couldn't drink...nothing would go through. Finally it gave way. Scary!

I had to discover it on RU-vid after all these years . Just had an endoscopy/colonoscopy and nothing showed up.

My bravo test showed no reflux and none in endoscopy either. So my Gi insisted that there’s absolutely no reflux issue with me but I have severe LPR symptoms mucus globus cough short of breath... gosh, I told him about the possibilities of other non acid reflux like pepsin. He doesn’t believe it and he said for pepsin reflux to occur there has to be acid reflux but my bravo test shows no acid. He is an old school doctor 😢 I’m drowning in my own mucus every day yet no Gi or ENT doctor is willing to understand and treat in my town

After a heavy meal, i felt there's a lump in my throat. Went to private doctor he put the camera in and gave me PPIs, took it for about 2 months and had just bread and yogurt and vegetables for 2 months. It went away with time but then i got constant thraot clearing problem. It lasted for 5 months and doctor gave me PPIs again. I took it for about a month and it went away. Now, its back with shoulder blade and chest pains. Its pretty bad, I've booked appointment with private doctor as NHS GP's are full of shit. Hopefully will find a cure or diet chart to follow. I personally think lifestyle change or strict diet can cure/manage GERD. Don't give up - we are in this together! if nothing works LINX surgery is there at least with time you can get back to life.

Is the mucus excessive secretions also related to bad breathe??

2 months ago I chocked on a piece of chicken and didn’t breath for 2 minutes fortunately the chicken moved down towards the esophagus and had a food impaction for 3 hours had to have ithe chicken go down at the ER with a shot. Now 3 months later I have a lump sensation on my throat and whenever I eat meats it always gets stuck on my throat or it’s hard to swallow. Makes me wonder if I have silent gerd, I’m seeing a specialist next week

I'm going through this and it's so terrible to deal with. My main symptoms are whenever I eat something, it always feels like my food is stuck at the center of my throat or on the side. It would cause me to panic when it happens, because I'm worried on possibly choking to death and then I would have difficulty swallowing and it would happen so instantly like if there was an actual piece of food stuck, even though there is not since I'm not choking on the food and I could still eat and drink. I just got diagnosed today and my doctor said I have LPR and GERD. He recommended me to take omperazole for 2 weeks and then to see him again, so hoping the medicine works out for me. I've been dealing with these symptoms for 24/7 and I honestly just want to stop stressing about it.

Is there surgery for this

I’ve had mucus in my throat for like 4 months… Some dry cough sometimes… Doctor finally told me I have LPR. I’ve been reading that it can lead to throat cancer? I’m so worried…. I’m 29 and I have a little daughter !

I can sleep really well and feel good in the morning with no dry throat. Sometimes my throat gets felt like its stinged only this makes me feel worse and this makes me worried. Lifestyle changes helped me a lot. But still can anyone suggest.

Hi can silent reflux cause chest and back pain?

I'm waking up at night choking on acid it's terrifying had persistent cough and sensation throat needs clearing.

Dear sir, I am suffering from hypheracidity. Now my tounge isn't as good as before and my throat is also feeling different please help.

I’ve been having symptoms of a lump in my throat, I feel breathy when I talk like I don’t get enough air, my breathing is fine but the lumpy throat makes me feel like I can’t breathe right. I’ve gone to do check ups and take anti-acids as well as Zyrtec for allergies and omeprazole 40mg but has not really helped, sometimes when I’m laying down I feel like I don’t get enough air, I have a nasal spray because I feel my nose to be stuffed sometimes and I use it to get rid of stuffy nose, been having this for over 2 months any recommendations on what this is, and how I can treat it?

This is one of the few videos that i came across that addresses my issues have constant burping even just drinking water and it all started day after stapes ear bone replacement surgery its terrible .. throat starts hurting and white little bumps appear around back of throat and tonsils no burning in chest though just burning in throat omeprazole doesnt help much .. thank you for the video hopefully one day i will get relief

I definitely have silent reflux, I never have heartburn but instead bloating and gurgling in my throat. I also now experience a lump feeling in my throat/is very dry. This is so obnoxious, I have to avoid all fun foods so that I don't have an episode.

Does it cause burping too

Sir I have same issue,pls tell me some remedies.
