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 going through it now.. I had panic attacks I can't Breath. They said it was reflux but I don't have chest pain.. I only ecperience shortness of breathing backpain stiff in may Jaw. Dry mouth and throat.. Last week I was hospitalized but they could'nt figure out.
@@leia4354 same situation... my o2 levels are dropping like a rock for sometimes a minute at a time after eating. the night terrifies me now, just keep trying a new thing every day to improve things. subtle improvements, incrementally, 1% improvement every few days means you resolve the problem in under a year. i sincerely hope you get better
@@leia4354 I’ve went to the hospital 3 times and every time they thought it was a heart problem because the feeling was in my chest. So I recently went once more time because idk what I had and Was having panic attacks because I thought I was dying or something. But they just told my it was GERD and my life hasn’t been the same for 6 months but just know u are just fine as long as u stay calm and eat the right things
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
same, I have to yawn in order to force a breath all the way in and I am forcing yawns 100+ times per day. I had an endoscopy and they didn’t think I had any signs of reflux so I don’t know why I can’t breath. It feels like a golf ball stuck down in my breathing tube that won’t let air pass, or someone pushing on my throat. Miserable
Yes I was diagnosed with eoe as well and I’m having a hard time breathing with dizzy spells all the time. I have swelling my my throat. All the meds and none seem to help.
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
This is pretty much the exact same thing that happened to me. Last year I got Covid and was stressed out about it while sick. In addition I had ALOT of other stresses in my life on top of having Covid. So on top of having Covid I got reflux symptoms and woke up a couple nights with acid literally in my throat. It took me 10-14 days to get over Covid but by the end of it I had the cough from reflux thinking it was lingering from having Covid. I was left with physical symptoms from stress the main one being reflux. Still hasn’t gone away after a year because I’m in a mental feedback loop where I’m stressed because of reflux and the reflux stresses me out. 🤷🏻♂️ Getting better though
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 used to have bad acid reflux, coughing, sleeping on wedge pillow. lump in throat, holes in my chest. I fixed it. The way to fix it, is to fix your digestion. Bone broth is the first thing you drink and drink lots of it. Second eat lots of fatty meats, third remember to eat protein meats. Yes the carnovore diet. Cut out vegeables for the first 3 to 6 months until digestion is healed and re introduce vegeables back into your diet. Keto and paleo would help to. The first step will be carnovore. Within 3 weeks I felt better and healed in 6 months. 2 years later I never felt better. In all honestly I cheat and when I do that, the reflux comes back again, so I need to drink bone broth again
Same here! Been there, done that! All these dr’s do is say “don’t eat this, don’t do that, blah blah blah” I’ve tried it ALL! Was on Protonix for 2-3 years, and now famotidine for the last 2 years, up to 40mg now… what else do I do??? 🥺🙏
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 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
@@himanshuh8972 I’ve changed my diet, 2 weeks in now. The only symptom I have is a really horrible post nasal drip. I’ve also ordered NAC 600mg. Hoping this two changes help
I’ve also been recent diagnosed with rhinitis, waiting to see if is allergy related as I’ve also learned the I have a mild deviated septum. I live on an island where specialist are few and right now it’s hard to get appointment with the whole COVID thing. So is just confusion
I have suffered with my LPR since returning to the UK about 5 years ago. It flares up during winter and a VERY hot summer. I have a feeling that I suffer with a dry throat, particularly after a cold. I believe there are various factors at play though, especially when it flares up. Biggest triggers are eating less than 2 hours before bed time (worse when consuming alcohol) Too much coffee, stress (and a combination of these factors). When I have flare ups I find it important to hydrate, eat slowly and chew food, eat smaller portions..I find that using dry throat spray after eating and swallowing a little bicarbonate of soda before bed time really helps. Also, try and prevent your environment from becoming dry.
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.
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
Hi Waqas, we're sorry to hear you're suffering with these reflux symptoms. For more information on how these symptoms can be diagnosed, you can get in touch with us here: refluxuk.com/contact/
I came here to say something about my recovery from GERD and LPR..I have been suffering for 6 years , couldn't sleep for nights and always felt uneasy in the stomach,hardly ate anything..The culprit is refined sugar...Throw it out of your pantry and see the difference..Donot eat anything with added sugar for 15 days ..and see difference.I have totally recovered...Hope this helps someone who is suffering.
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.
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

@@jankant5168 been on and off meds for over 3 years now, filthy Australian government. currently on PPI tablets and it has helped i now have the slightest clicking instead of literally dieing from choking, i say bring on ww3 so we can get away with revenge.
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 TH-cam. 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’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 have the exact same symtoms. I’m taking betaine HCL and pepsin before each meal to raise my stomach acid. It’s all due to low stomach acid. Type in on TH-cam “low stomach acid” dr berg or motivational doctor 👍😘
@@danielwilcox1071 are you saying that it’s not caused by silent reflux, but because of lack of stomach acid? Then how come I have a constant tickle in the upper throat that gives me an urge to cough? Did you also have the tickle/itchiness?
Has anyone had any improvement? Suffering from this after I got covid. I've been like this for 3 weeks now and it's absolute misery. I can't sleep, I wake up gasping for air, sometimes I don't sleep at all. It's all giving me anxiety too. I've been eating a very bland diet and eating what's suggested, but some days it still acts up. I just want to get back to normal.
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.
Dont worry youre not going crazy.. i also have trouble brething and constabt throat clearing etc.. i found that not drinking or eating atleast 2 hours before bed helps..absolutely avoid spicy foods and sugary foods and stuff like bread and for me dairy was a big source of discomfort..i am now at day 3 keto diet and so far so good.. its a little better.
@@BaruaaaH same it's hard sometimes you feel like your going to die these symptoms usually occur when i eat spicy food or processed food dizziness' trouble breathing' sleeplessnights' panic attacks' sever headaches. I changed my diet to alkaline one and in 2 weeks felt much much better but then went back to the processed food and now it's back.
@@meekmillvevo1232 this happened to me 2 months after lockdown last year. Still suffering. Diet change do seem to work but to an extent. Also if I lift weights which uses my core then it's hard to breathe again.
@@BaruaaaH same when I lift weights I get that breathing problem.constant Acid reflux causes damage to the osaphagus it take time to heal 2 weeks I was strict with my diet didnt feel a difference In the first 4 days but days 5 I felt much better just was on a alkaline diet and started juicing celery cucumber kale helped alot. Then I had junk food 4 days in a row and it really messed me up
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
@@jankant5168 im Little better but reflux still sticks arround. I have learnt what to avoid. Unfortunately I had to stop gym altogether, basically life suck with this.
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 🙏🙏❤❤❤
@@johnatola7731 I did. I had a chest CT scan and was diagnosed with mild Bronchiectasis. A quite rare and unknown lung disease that can mimic the effects of cystic fibros if left untreated.
Red cabbage juice cures LPR , I have Gerd and Costochondritis, lump in throat burning tickle in chest and throat and neck pain, dry throat and sinuses and the only thing that helps me is Red cabbage juice. Thank God for cabbage.
Interesting. Do you juice it yourself? I never see it at the store. Im asking for my sister who is going through this right now in addition to other problems. Her throat muscles dont work she can no longer talk, she chokes everytime she tries to eat or drink and always coughing and spitting up stomach acid. So far the meds shes using dont work.
@@pamelaolson5614 I have a juicer. I like to combine it with cucumber juice. I feel for your sister I've had my fair share of throat issues as well, I hope she finds relief with cabbage juice.
How long was you suffering for if you don’t mind me asking? Glad to hear you’re better now. I’m on my 2nd flair up of this now, only this time it’s scarier because I have 2 beautiful children now and I keep getting panic attacks thinking I’ll die and leave them alone in this world. This combined with health anxiety is a battle.
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.
Try sleeping atleast 4 hours agter eating, also drink apple cider vinegar n water with yr meals to quicken digestion and take bitaine hydrochloride with pepsin tablets with your meals. You probably hv low stomach acid n food z taking long to b digested thn it fements etc you might need to acidify you stomach.research on bitaine n check reviews.it wrked for me after all antiacids n ppi worsened my problem.all the best
I have a hiatal hernia and suffer almost every day with acid reflux so I take ppi omeprazole. Have had this for 20 odd years ,but added to this I have had post nasal drip and sinus issues every single day . I mentioned to my GP could my reflux cause my sinus issues and basically he laughed . Great help . They want to try living with it every single day I am constantly clearing my throat which isn’t doing my vocal cords any good . Really don’t know what to do especially now with Covid around my problem seems insignificant. It just wares me out every day and at night ,coughing .
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.
@@jankant5168i lose my job because this too! I have gerd with shortness breath, not only job but also my love life🥹 this Guy left me for other girl and doesnt care anymore 😢
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?
It definitely could be - although not the only cause of a post-nasal drip, many LPR patients suffer from this symptom. It is worth getting the proper tests for a formal diagnosis. That way, you'll know exactly what the best treatment is for you
Also please be careful about taking PPIs too often, if taken for a long period of time (months and months on end) it can backfire and cause MORE acidity in the stomach once off. I did this and I thought I was DYING from the amount of acid.
@@9noona809 after getting acid rebound i went to a clinic and was diagnoses with an h.pylori infection. I was given antiobiotics for seven days which helped immensely. I then stopped all ppis, and i only take them once in a while if i feel like i absolutely need them, which normally i don't. The key for me is to not let myself get too hungry and to keep myself elevated at night, i also have to avood tomatoes and onions (which are some of my favorite foods :(() when im in a bad cycle until my stomach heals. I'm gonna link a video here, I just watched this yesterday, apparently this girl take slippery elm every morning and it is completely healed her acid reflux without any medication. I ordered some on Amazon for $8 yesterday. th-cam.com/video/LTBDe_s9odM/w-d-xo.html This is her video, i felt really informed after watching it.
My gastroenterologist told me the same thing: that after being on PPIs for months, quitting can actually cause more acid production than before the PPIs were started. She did say H2 blockers like Pepcid (famotidine) don't cause the extra acid when discontinued, don't know why. So I am switching from omeprazole (PPI) to famotidine (H2 blocker) for a few months, then will taper off the H2 blocker. Hopefully this way I can minimize any "acid rebound."
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.
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
I strongly recommend that you get an endoscopy done to look at your esophagus and stomach. If you have had this condition for a long period of time you can develop Barrett’s Esophagus which is a pre-cancerous condition that can be serious. For now though, never ever sleep on your right side as it puts your stomach above your esophagus allowing stomach acid to travel up your esophagus and cause your laryngeal spasms making it difficult to breathe. Very scary I know. There is a special wedge pillow called a Medcline that may help you sleep made specifically for GERD which is what you very likely have. GERD can be massively worse if you have anxiety. Hope this helps.
Ricardo Cruz Music No. But you need that Endoscopy bro. GERD is in your esophagus not your stomach. Antacids only help with your throat burning and do nothing for stomach acid You must avoid acidic food and drinks at all costs. No caffeine no tomato products at all, no alcohol, no smoking, no sports drinks, no spicy food. My feeling of the lump went away. This will take a long time to go away. Years for some. You have to do this bro. Get checked out and get a treatment plan.
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...
Samee its a good thing u avoided researching online because I did,and it made my anxiety even worse and I keep overthinking about this and that Not really helpful😅.Thank God my sister is a doctor and I told her about it.She gave me some medicines that will help my silent reflux if u wanna know it’s(Omeprazole Zosec),you take it on an empty stomach - on the morning and wait for 30-45 min before you eat,but I like to wait for an hour.My sister said that I have to drink the medicine for two weeks and all will be well after that hopefully...😔🙏🏻I still have the symptoms of silent reflux except the lump feeling in the throat - I think the medicine kinda work on that part but I can finally enjoy eating again,my foodie self was going crazy because of the damn reflux.
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.
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
Sometimes my nose are blocked but its not that bad. But my throat really irritates me. Its hard for me to take out mucus. I can but just small amount amd is white. But there us still something stuck in my throat. And it realky bothers me
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'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.
Before you take any PPI’s do some research on the Internet. Once I was put on them they just left me on them for three years. Then I find out they are just so dangerous over long-term and can have life-threatening consequences. They say your stomach needs acid to make the top of oesophageal valve close so people resort to cider vinegar drinks. I had an operation, they said it was for a hiatal hernia, so I went through all the tests had the operation and I still have silent reflux which I think is gas coming up from my stomach as I belch a lot after the operation. I feel they have really messed me up.
Same, one of my major symptoms is difficulty swallowing(as if foods get stuck in the throat and not going down smoothly), I can still eat and drink but I eat much less and my appetite is completely gone because of this. I also have shortness of breath and tickle in the throat that makes me want to cough. Are you feeling better now?
@@johnstauffer4362 I’m really sorry. I’m having throat issues and swallowing discomfort and just got some PPIs from my GP. 3 years is such a long time, have you ever try to stop taking it?
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

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.
@@julieannperez7249 mine started last year April. I lost weight due to the painful swallowing, chest pain, back pain and there are yellowish bump(cobblestoning throat). When I’m anxious about something it gets worse, feels as if my chest is tight& burning but I never had a heartburn. It is annoying I’m miss food passing down my throat without any hassle plus I have other issues; iron deficiency, paleness and pruritus ani. Last time I was healthy was September 2018. I have done ECG, ct brain scan and now I have an appointment for Barrium swallow on the 20th of September
Hey dear, you're not alone. Mine started last May , tonight, I'm having another episode. I was also diagnosed with anxiety, and this feeling makes everything worst. PPIs don't work on me. I had my last med today, just finished the medication but still not feeling any better. I'm praying for relief and fastest recovery. I'll include you in my prayer. Glad that somebody finally replied to my comment in YT. Stay safe. Sending virtual hugs from the Philippines .
@Ntsiki Diago do you have instagram? I want to keep in touch. You know, it's quite comforting to have someone who feels the same way. I am praying for your (our) fastest healing.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 guess I have silent reflux. It's very sinister, because It's been going on for years? and I haven't realized. Lump in throat, sometimes sore throat, weird dry asthma. :-/
You're absolutely right! In most people, the main cause of reflux disease (including LPR) is a hiatus hernia, which is known for be degenerative, i.e. it gets worse over time. PPIs have no impact on a hiatus hernia, only the stomach acid!
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.
Yes and it's terrible to have to cough for a few seconds and then people will look at horror at you thinking you have a cold virus (even before Covid). :(

You likely have GERD and Laryngospasms at night causing you to abruptly wake up not able to breathe. It happened to me. Very scary and dangerous. Sleep in a recliner for the moment. Then seek help from your doctor ASAP! This can lead to much worse conditions.
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:(
I think at this point the upper and lower valve of the esophagus need to close and the only way is to get your ph in your stomach low enough and I'm thinking about maybe Sauerkraut. I think at this point we're missing bacteria to help the stomach to lower ph And Digest properly.
Follow dr berg on youtube instead. Johnathan aviv and Jamie Koufman stuff doesn't work. Drink bone broth and get carnovore diet. After 6 months, you can re introduce vegeables. Don't take anti acids or ppi, take hcl with pepsin's instead. After 6 months on carnovore, you can switch to keto or paleo
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.
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.
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..
@@juanperez-df1mo sounds like we have the same problem , i have narrowed it down to haital hernia, it gets worse after any exercise. The issue is, no real solution , just eating right , fasting , being mindful when you eat and some massaging and stretching .
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!
Yes it can , and it can also be the cause of reflux to start , as the nerves responsible for keep your stomach shut come from your spine , any issues with your back can weaken the muscles responsible and in turn have all these issues .
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..
getting one side throat pain and ear pain with severe Post Nasal Drip since 1 one year., visited 7 seven ENT doctors but still i am not properly diagnosed, for some its tonsillitis for some pharyngittis., can it be silent reflux.?does reflux can cause chronic tonsillittis or pharyngittis,,i am depressed
@@Beautiful_Rose-t1r so sorry to hear that you are facing the same problem. Recently i did an online consultation with ENT , for him it's acid reflux I am on PPI and antidepressants again , god knows will it resolve this time or not. Wishes for you keep me updated about your condition
More research needs to be done on this disorder. Either doctors are not willing to perform more intricate tests in the throat or they are just putting this disorder to the end of the list.
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

@@cosmicbubble12 Fundoplication prevents you from burping/releasing air up into the esophagus so the only way is discomfort until it passes down...LINX would allow you to burp and then the magnetic beads shut again, not sure if my logic is wrong here...

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'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?
So i know I've got this. And I'm uninsured. No way could I afford what this guy charges for his services. So that increases my stress level. My symptoms are a constantly runny nose, post nasal drip, a raw sore throat, burping and fear ( which causes the stress). Any other uninsured folks out there dealing with this? What have you tried?
Am 17 and had these problems for years this shit is no joke I am finally going to the doctor next week I finally figured out what my problem was it’s reflux wish me luck I love you bro

Only Upper GI issues with lots of burping and that feeling of a restriction in my throat. More investigation i think
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.
Sorry to hear you're struggling with you reflux - did you know 20-30% of the population in the UK suffers from frequent and or severe reflux symptoms. Lifestyle changes can really help alleviate some of these, but as everyone's reflux is different the changes you need to make will be different to other people too! Some common ones include using a few pillows at night and not eating too late. Many people find behavioural changes when eating (such as slowing down, taking pauses between bites and chewing food for longer) can help a lot. Other things like exercise, losing weight, reducing caffeine and chocolate etc. can help too! It's always worth speaking to a clinician to find out what you can do to get treated and to get a formal diagnosis with proper testing.
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 😫😕
Fasting makes digestive issues worse, evidently... At least they make mine considerably worse; I found the sweet spot was eating around 3.5 hours before bed - anymore than that I starting backtracking fast.
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 got my endoscopy and they only found esophagitis and gastritis, I also found out I suffer from health ocd and my swallowing got better after taking SSRI pills as well for me since I wa a just thinking about swallowing all the time
I'm a doctor and I do agree with you when you said it's caused by non acidic reflux,but it's not Pepsin. I have had an encounter with a patient who had sore throat on the same side he slept on previous night. It was simply post Nasal drip. He had no acid reflux or GERD. The mucus irritated his throat. Simple salt water baking soda mixture and Nasal irrigation cured his problem.
my mom has chronic cough but she never complaints of heartburn or any other GERD symptoms other than cough. She coughs through out the day and mostly while laying down for sleep. However , she never complaints of any acidic reflux. The chest x-ray came Normal twice. Also , she coughs while eating for many years. we did an endoscopy and it showed H pylori positive , gastritis and small hiatus hernia 2 cm.

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.
@@jankant5168 I still have phlegm but I feel great. Working out and having a healthy diet solved my problem. Don’t be buying useless meds like I did which will worsen your condition.
It’s the constant swallowing/ trying to clear that lump feeling that makes you burp. Swallowing air every time we swallow in attempt to clear our throats
@Hikikomori 2 I am not sure but I think it could be a cold virus that affected some nerves in the throat. How to get it back to normal is the problem and it seems that no one is doing much research on it.
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..

Do you have discord or maybe somethin wanna talk about .. social things are really helpful now.
@@Beautiful_Rose-t1r hei! i am better now , something happened these days , a doctor told me to take probiotics from meds for stomach balance. Well these days i took 1 pouder and i felt very weird , like i was going to get sick or something like that (coughing and chest pain when cough) i was scared cuz i presumed i could have corona .. so i just made a decision , i went to chitchen and i took 50ml of vodtka instantly. Then i felt really better , no heartburn and no more coughing. The next day i was like new. So im afraid to take again those powders , im afraid i may have low imunity or i have an infection somewhere that can cause these. Now im free of pills , i only feel a little heartburn at the night and some post nasal drips , but i get over it fast. I started to eat chocolate and drink coffee , it seems it doesnt botter me as long as i don't use them in excees and before sleep. How about you? Sorry i didnt message on instagram , i can't access my acc from mobile cuz one of my acc was blocked so i cant login.
Anyone experiencing mouth sores. Tongue with white striped on the side. Pink on the middle. When roof of the mouth is sore. My throat and roof of mouth is fine. But when roof of the mouth is sore.

@@kristyhawes I had to go to a GI and ENT doctors. With the GI dr I learned I have a small hiatal hernia contributing to some of my symptoms and the ENT dr was the one who diagnosed it with a laryngoscopy (when they stick a camera down your throat). It wasn’t painful btw

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 going through it now.. I had panic attacks I can't Breath. They said it was reflux but I don't have chest pain.. I only ecperience shortness of breathing backpain stiff in may Jaw. Dry mouth and throat.. Last week I was hospitalized but they could'nt figure out.
@@leia4354 same situation... my o2 levels are dropping like a rock for sometimes a minute at a time after eating. the night terrifies me now, just keep trying a new thing every day to improve things. subtle improvements, incrementally, 1% improvement every few days means you resolve the problem in under a year. i sincerely hope you get better
It can be anxiety
@@leia4354 I’ve went to the hospital 3 times and every time they thought it was a heart problem because the feeling was in my chest. So I recently went once more time because idk what I had and Was having panic attacks because I thought I was dying or something. But they just told my it was GERD and my life hasn’t been the same for 6 months but just know u are just fine as long as u stay calm and eat the right things
you said it got worse after milk. could it be you're allergic to dairy?
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
same, I have to yawn in order to force a breath all the way in and I am forcing yawns 100+ times per day. I had an endoscopy and they didn’t think I had any signs of reflux so I don’t know why I can’t breath. It feels like a golf ball stuck down in my breathing tube that won’t let air pass, or someone pushing on my throat. Miserable
@@SweetTinglesASMR11 yess same bro 😭😭
@@roadtovictory-pubgmobile4697 Any better? :/
Yes I was diagnosed with eoe as well and I’m having a hard time breathing with dizzy spells all the time. I have swelling my my throat. All the meds and none seem to help.
That’s exactly what happens to me
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
Me too since covid been tough to talk only hurts when talking
Wow, I have the same issue. Any relief?
@@rubyday2496 me?
This is pretty much the exact same thing that happened to me. Last year I got Covid and was stressed out about it while sick. In addition I had ALOT of other stresses in my life on top of having Covid. So on top of having Covid I got reflux symptoms and woke up a couple nights with acid literally in my throat. It took me 10-14 days to get over Covid but by the end of it I had the cough from reflux thinking it was lingering from having Covid. I was left with physical symptoms from stress the main one being reflux. Still hasn’t gone away after a year because I’m in a mental feedback loop where I’m stressed because of reflux and the reflux stresses me out. 🤷🏻♂️ Getting better though
Kapena hi are you still getting the symptoms??are u getting stomach burns like acidic
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.
Did you get your results yet ?
I'm in the same boat 100% but with Nexium for 4 months
I used to have bad acid reflux, coughing, sleeping on wedge pillow. lump in throat, holes in my chest. I fixed it. The way to fix it, is to fix your digestion. Bone broth is the first thing you drink and drink lots of it. Second eat lots of fatty meats, third remember to eat protein meats. Yes the carnovore diet. Cut out vegeables for the first 3 to 6 months until digestion is healed and re introduce vegeables back into your diet. Keto and paleo would help to. The first step will be carnovore. Within 3 weeks I felt better and healed in 6 months. 2 years later I never felt better. In all honestly I cheat and when I do that, the reflux comes back again, so I need to drink bone broth again
instead of ppi or anti acids, take hcl with pepsins, instead.
Same here! Been there, done that! All these dr’s do is say “don’t eat this, don’t do that, blah blah blah” I’ve tried it ALL! Was on Protonix for 2-3 years, and now famotidine for the last 2 years, up to 40mg now… what else do I do??? 🥺🙏
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 have suffered with my LPR since returning to the UK about 5 years ago. It flares up during winter and a VERY hot summer. I have a feeling that I suffer with a dry throat, particularly after a cold. I believe there are various factors at play though, especially when it flares up. Biggest triggers are eating less than 2 hours before bed time (worse when consuming alcohol) Too much coffee, stress (and a combination of these factors). When I have flare ups I find it important to hydrate, eat slowly and chew food, eat smaller portions..I find that using dry throat spray after eating and swallowing a little bicarbonate of soda before bed time really helps. Also, try and prevent your environment from becoming dry.
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.

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 got the exact same symptoms and have had the same experience at the GPs.
@@grapegripe for how long?
I have the exact same symtoms. I’m taking betaine HCL and pepsin before each meal to raise my stomach acid. It’s all due to low stomach acid. Type in on TH-cam “low stomach acid” dr berg or motivational doctor 👍😘
@@danielwilcox1071 are you saying that it’s not caused by silent reflux, but because of lack of stomach acid? Then how come I have a constant tickle in the upper throat that gives me an urge to cough? Did you also have the tickle/itchiness?

I can't sleep, I wake up gasping for air, sometimes I don't sleep at all. It's all giving me anxiety too. I've been eating a very bland diet and eating what's suggested, but some days it still acts up. I just want to get back to normal.
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.
Dont worry youre not going crazy.. i also have trouble brething and constabt throat clearing etc.. i found that not drinking or eating atleast 2 hours before bed helps..absolutely avoid spicy foods and sugary foods and stuff like bread and for me dairy was a big source of discomfort..i am now at day 3 keto diet and so far so good.. its a little better.

Hi if you go on the enclosed website link, Mr Boyle has written an interesting blog on COVID and reflux. refluxuk.com/blog/can-COVID-19-cause-reflux/
Ur main symptom is dry cough?
How are you now???
@@jankant5168 im Little better but reflux still sticks arround.
I have learnt what to avoid. Unfortunately I had to stop gym altogether, basically life suck with this.
@@Michauu sorry to ask, why do you need stop going gym?
I feel like i have swollen stuff in my neck and a sickly feeling. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I was treated 5 years for silent asthma and it turned out I had silent reflux
Once it was identified as reflux what treatment did they give you ? And did it work?
Thank you so much for this comment. I feel like I have asthma. I have burning in my throat and globus
How are you now???
Me too. I was treated for asthma for 4 years. The medications never worked. After watching this video, I now know I have LPR.
@@versecannon3651are you better now?
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 🙏🙏❤❤❤
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 😩
How are you now? I'm experiencing this now it's so hard to lay down to sleep at night.
bless you have nice warm cup of tea with honey
Me 2
Did you find any solution?
@@johnatola7731 I did. I had a chest CT scan and was diagnosed with mild Bronchiectasis. A quite rare and unknown lung disease that can mimic the effects of cystic fibros if left untreated.
Red cabbage juice cures LPR , I have Gerd and Costochondritis, lump in throat burning tickle in chest and throat and neck pain, dry throat and sinuses and the only thing that helps me is Red cabbage juice. Thank God for cabbage.
Interesting. Do you juice it yourself? I never see it at the store. Im asking for my sister who is going through this right now in addition to other problems. Her throat muscles dont work she can no longer talk, she chokes everytime she tries to eat or drink and always coughing and spitting up stomach acid. So far the meds shes using dont work.
@@pamelaolson5614 I have a juicer. I like to combine it with cucumber juice. I feel for your sister I've had my fair share of throat issues as well, I hope she finds relief with cabbage juice.
How long was you suffering for if you don’t mind me asking? Glad to hear you’re better now. I’m on my 2nd flair up of this now, only this time it’s scarier because I have 2 beautiful children now and I keep getting panic attacks thinking I’ll die and leave them alone in this world. This combined with health anxiety is a battle.
My symptoms are heaviness in throat, feeling of something stuck in throat while i swallow, mucus at the back of the throat and shortness of breath
Did you ever get better
How are you now??
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 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.
I have this issue
Try sleeping atleast 4 hours agter eating, also drink apple cider vinegar n water with yr meals to quicken digestion and take bitaine hydrochloride with pepsin tablets with your meals. You probably hv low stomach acid n food z taking long to b digested thn it fements etc you might need to acidify you stomach.research on bitaine n check reviews.it wrked for me after all antiacids n ppi worsened my problem.all the best
@@theresamutize821 where do I get the bitaine hydro pepsin tabs from, pharmacy?
I have a hiatal hernia and suffer almost every day with acid reflux so I take ppi omeprazole. Have had this for 20 odd years ,but added to this I have had post nasal drip and sinus issues every single day . I mentioned to my GP could my reflux cause my sinus issues and basically he laughed . Great help . They want to try living with it every single day I am constantly clearing my throat which isn’t doing my vocal cords any good . Really don’t know what to do especially now with Covid around my problem seems insignificant. It just wares me out every day and at night ,coughing .
How are you now???
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.
How are you at the moment???
@@jankant5168i lose my job because this too! I have gerd with shortness breath, not only job but also my love life🥹 this Guy left me for other girl and doesnt care anymore 😢
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?
It definitely could be - although not the only cause of a post-nasal drip, many LPR patients suffer from this symptom. It is worth getting the proper tests for a formal diagnosis. That way, you'll know exactly what the best treatment is for you
@@Refluxuk i had LPR do swollen neck is part of it?
Also please be careful about taking PPIs too often, if taken for a long period of time (months and months on end) it can backfire and cause MORE acidity in the stomach once off. I did this and I thought I was DYING from the amount of acid.
What was your final resort?
@@9noona809 after getting acid rebound i went to a clinic and was diagnoses with an h.pylori infection. I was given antiobiotics for seven days which helped immensely. I then stopped all ppis, and i only take them once in a while if i feel like i absolutely need them, which normally i don't. The key for me is to not let myself get too hungry and to keep myself elevated at night, i also have to avood tomatoes and onions (which are some of my favorite foods :(() when im in a bad cycle until my stomach heals. I'm gonna link a video here, I just watched this yesterday, apparently this girl take slippery elm every morning and it is completely healed her acid reflux without any medication. I ordered some on Amazon for $8 yesterday. th-cam.com/video/LTBDe_s9odM/w-d-xo.html
This is her video, i felt really informed after watching it.
@@jillianelise5 bone broth and carnovore diet
My gastroenterologist told me the same thing: that after being on PPIs for months, quitting can actually cause more acid production than before the PPIs were started. She did say H2 blockers like Pepcid (famotidine) don't cause the extra acid when discontinued, don't know why. So I am switching from omeprazole (PPI) to famotidine (H2 blocker) for a few months, then will taper off the H2 blocker. Hopefully this way I can minimize any "acid rebound."
@@DaneArcher2000 How are you doing now??
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.
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
Thank you for sharing your story here, pinkfreud62!
I strongly recommend that you get an endoscopy done to look at your esophagus and stomach. If you have had this condition for a long period of time you can develop Barrett’s Esophagus which is a pre-cancerous condition that can be serious. For now though, never ever sleep on your right side as it puts your stomach above your esophagus allowing stomach acid to travel up your esophagus and cause your laryngeal spasms making it difficult to breathe. Very scary I know. There is a special wedge pillow called a Medcline that may help you sleep made specifically for GERD which is what you very likely have. GERD can be massively worse if you have anxiety. Hope this helps.
You still have that lump problem?
Ricardo Cruz Music No. But you need that Endoscopy bro. GERD is in your esophagus not your stomach. Antacids only help with your throat burning and do nothing for stomach acid You must avoid acidic food and drinks at all costs. No caffeine no tomato products at all, no alcohol, no smoking, no sports drinks, no spicy food. My feeling of the lump went away. This will take a long time to go away. Years for some. You have to do this bro. Get checked out and get a treatment plan.

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...

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.
How are you now???
Maybe Vagus nerve damage. Look up exercises.
Can this condition affect the ear as well? I have a sore throat for weeks and clogged ears, painful as well...
Thank you sometimes one and other times both ears
I have a constant red throat and it is sometimes sore, occassional tickly cough and really bad post nasal drip.
Same TRY Mastika Mastic Gum Capsules ✅️
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
Im still feeling the same.
nicholas agda Are you having post nasal drip or just mucus in throat or both
Sometimes my nose are blocked but its not that bad. But my throat really irritates me. Its hard for me to take out mucus. I can but just small amount amd is white. But there us still something stuck in my throat. And it realky bothers me
And also it is not hard for me to swallow. Everytime i eat my throat feels okay.
Is this silent reflux? Because im really not sure
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…

Do you still have the tickle?
@@Lee-xt5wi have no total
IDEA ! It’s like did they dieee 😭😭😱😱😱
@@theboneznbg death by lpr. It's bigger than anyone thinks.
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.
Hi how u feeling now?
Any update?
Before you take any PPI’s do some research on the Internet. Once I was put on them they just left me on them for three years. Then I find out they are just so dangerous over long-term and can have life-threatening consequences. They say your stomach needs acid to make the top of oesophageal valve close so people resort to cider vinegar drinks. I had an operation, they said it was for a hiatal hernia, so I went through all the tests had the operation and I still have silent reflux which I think is gas coming up from my stomach as I belch a lot after the operation. I feel they have really messed me up.
Same, one of my major symptoms is difficulty swallowing(as if foods get stuck in the throat and not going down smoothly), I can still eat and drink but I eat much less and my appetite is completely gone because of this. I also have shortness of breath and tickle in the throat that makes me want to cough. Are you feeling better now?
@@johnstauffer4362 I’m really sorry. I’m having throat issues and swallowing discomfort and just got some PPIs from my GP. 3 years is such a long time, have you ever try to stop taking it?
Sleeping at an angle and not eating 4 hr before sleep helped me a lot with this
I’ve just been diagnosed. My sinuses and ear are infected as a result. Any tips?
haw are you?
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
I hate this disease I am depressed

How are you at the moment???
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.
How long have you had silent reflux because. These PPIs seem to be ineffective. Been taking them for 5 months now
Me as well. I don't feel any relief from those PPIs.
I don't have those symtopms of heartburn.
@@julieannperez7249 mine started last year April. I lost weight due to the painful swallowing, chest pain, back pain and there are yellowish bump(cobblestoning throat). When I’m anxious about something it gets worse, feels as if my chest is tight& burning but I never had a heartburn. It is annoying I’m miss food passing down my throat without any hassle plus I have other issues; iron deficiency, paleness and pruritus ani. Last time I was healthy was September 2018. I have done ECG, ct brain scan and now I have an appointment for Barrium swallow on the 20th of September
Hey dear, you're not alone. Mine started last May , tonight, I'm having another episode.
I was also diagnosed with anxiety, and this feeling makes everything worst.
PPIs don't work on me. I had my last med today, just finished the medication but still not feeling any better.
I'm praying for relief and fastest recovery. I'll include you in my prayer.
Glad that somebody finally replied to my comment in YT.

Hi - I have this issue and I started taking Zantac, is that not the best medicine for this? Thanks!
How are you now???
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.

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 guess I have silent reflux. It's very sinister, because It's been going on for years? and I haven't realized. Lump in throat, sometimes sore throat, weird dry asthma. :-/
How r u now
mine. my tonsils swells. like tonsillitis.
I think it is 'hard to treat' because medicine just focuses on the symptoms and not on the cause therefore on it goes or gets worse
You're absolutely right! In most people, the main cause of reflux disease (including LPR) is a hiatus hernia, which is known for be degenerative, i.e. it gets worse over time. PPIs have no impact on a hiatus hernia, only the stomach acid!
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.
Yep, I get it all the time. In the worst way. To the point where my throat swells and I can’t eat any solid foods.
Both Gaviscon Extra Strength and Advance work well for me
Yes and it's terrible to have to cough for a few seconds and then people will look at horror at you thinking you have a cold virus (even before Covid). :(

You likely have GERD and Laryngospasms at night causing you to abruptly wake up not able to breathe. It happened to me. Very scary and dangerous. Sleep in a recliner for the moment. Then seek help from your doctor ASAP! This can lead to much worse conditions.
Can ear fullness be a symptom?
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:(
I think at this point the upper and lower valve of the esophagus need to close and the only way is to get your ph in your stomach low enough and I'm thinking about maybe Sauerkraut. I think at this point we're missing bacteria to help the stomach to lower ph And Digest properly.
This is from a hiatal hernia

Follow dr berg on youtube instead. Johnathan aviv and Jamie Koufman stuff doesn't work. Drink bone broth and get carnovore diet. After 6 months, you can re introduce vegeables. Don't take anti acids or ppi, take hcl with pepsin's instead. After 6 months on carnovore, you can switch to keto or paleo
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.
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 .

Bone broth, fatty meats. Yes carnovore diet. Hcl with pepsins

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 am The same. Had it 3 months now. Very frustrating and has become a costly exercise to diagnose
@@sparkymalarky4322 Ulcers have been detected on my vocal cords in laryngoscopy and in stomach in endoscopy. 5mm calcified nodule in lower lobe in right lung in CT Scan, which doctor says is benign. Have you also been diagnosed?
@@manuyadav2502 oh ok thats interesting hopefuly you can get some treatment soon. I also had a CT of my neck and chest when i started experiencing the breathing difficulty but came back all ok. I had an endoscopy and Gastroscopy but the only thing he mentioned was IBS but i dont really have any IBS symptoms. Only Upper GI issues with lots of burping and that feeling of a restriction in my throat. More investigation i think

It sucks
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.
Sorry to hear you're struggling with you reflux - did you know 20-30% of the population in the UK suffers from frequent and or severe reflux symptoms. Lifestyle changes can really help alleviate some of these, but as everyone's reflux is different the changes you need to make will be different to other people too!
Some common ones include using a few pillows at night and not eating too late. Many people find behavioural changes when eating (such as slowing down, taking pauses between bites and chewing food for longer) can help a lot. Other things like exercise, losing weight, reducing caffeine and chocolate etc. can help too! It's always worth speaking to a clinician to find out what you can do to get treated and to get a formal diagnosis with proper testing.
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 😫😕
I have these exact sound and it worries me tremendously.
Google globus sensation, you might have that like me. Dont know how to get rid of it tho..
@@joojotin Thank you
@@kikijones2310 It worries me too.
Hi Have you visited refluxuk.com/symptoms-and-diagnosis/ . This may have information which will help.
My drs can’t tell me what’s wrong been through several drs I can’t breathe after eating
I have acid reflux even when I fast all day long lol
@Joice Omo shut up 😹
Fasting makes digestive issues worse, evidently... At least they make mine considerably worse; I found the sweet spot was eating around 3.5 hours before bed - anymore than that I starting backtracking fast.
Hi, how are you at the moment???
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
Please keep me posted, same story
I got my endoscopy and they only found esophagitis and gastritis, I also found out I suffer from health ocd and my swallowing got better after taking SSRI pills as well for me since I wa a just thinking about swallowing all the time
I'm a doctor and I do agree with you when you said it's caused by non acidic reflux,but it's not Pepsin. I have had an encounter with a patient who had sore throat on the same side he slept on previous night. It was simply post Nasal drip. He had no acid reflux or GERD. The mucus irritated his throat. Simple salt water baking soda mixture and Nasal irrigation cured his problem.
what is nasal irrigation??
@@einasun9277 Put 1 tbps Baking soda and salt in 8 ounces of sterilized water and run that water through both of your Nostrils, before Sleep.
my mom has chronic cough but she never complaints of heartburn or any other GERD symptoms other than cough. She coughs through out the day and mostly while laying down for sleep. However , she never complaints of any acidic reflux.
The chest x-ray came Normal twice.
Also , she coughs while eating for many years.
we did an endoscopy and it showed H pylori positive , gastritis and small hiatus hernia 2 cm.
Can you tell us any solution pls 😭
Contact me here 9108799531
The nasal irrigation scares me. I heard stories of deadly bacteria getting to the brain. How long do you have to do this irrigation to get cured?
@@frostflower5555 boil the water for safety.
If you have this problem 2 cloves of garlic 2 table spoons of Powder turmeric mix together in hot water strain and drink ☕️ for a week and it will be gone .
can mix it in a cup of hot water
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.
Hi Have you visited refluxuk.com/symptoms-and-diagnosis/ . This may have information which will help.
@@Refluxuk I scored 20 out of 75 in both tests. But I'm not from Uk. So this doesn't help.
Hi, how are you at the moment???
@@jankant5168 I still have phlegm but I feel great. Working out and having a healthy diet solved my problem. Don’t be buying useless meds like I did which will worsen your condition.
@@jankant5168 I have itching inside the throat. It only happens when I mess with the throat.
Does it cause burping too
It’s the constant swallowing/ trying to clear that lump feeling that makes you burp. Swallowing air every time we swallow in attempt to clear our throats
This is not caused by stomach acid - far from it! This is NOT Gerd yet they had to put it in the same boat.
@Hikikomori 2 I am not sure but I think it could be a cold virus that affected some nerves in the throat. How to get it back to normal is the problem and it seems that no one is doing much research on it.
Hi, how are you at the moment???
Anyone having kind of burning feeling in throat?
Yes.
Get Baking Soda and Salt water and make a Nasal spray out of it. Takes good amt of burning away
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..

@@Beautiful_Rose-t1r not quite good.. i still didnt cured my symptoms only like 50% , but i have now i lump in my throat that doesnt let me swallow or breath normally.. and i feel kinda bad and weak. I went to doctors , they didnt care too much and diagnose me as a normal thing , but only if im young that doesnt mean i cant have other diseases.. Anyway , im taking esomeprasole , but i think this is making me weak idk should i take only 1 at 2 days or everyday?
@@Beautiful_Rose-t1r Man thank you so much , for guiding me , all doctors sayd to me that im too anxious about my condition , and i should not think about. But for real man , i swear it feels like i got a tumor in throat its so scary.. I will try to avoid any stress and be happy that im still alive. Do you have discord or maybe somethin wanna talk about .. social things are really helpful now.
@@Beautiful_Rose-t1r Yes. My IG: robertbun7. Add me there
@@Beautiful_Rose-t1r hei! i am better now , something happened these days , a doctor told me to take probiotics from meds for stomach balance. Well these days i took 1 pouder and i felt very weird , like i was going to get sick or something like that (coughing and chest pain when cough) i was scared cuz i presumed i could have corona .. so i just made a decision , i went to chitchen and i took 50ml of vodtka instantly. Then i felt really better , no heartburn and no more coughing. The next day i was like new. So im afraid to take again those powders , im afraid i may have low imunity or i have an infection somewhere that can cause these.
Now im free of pills , i only feel a little heartburn at the night and some post nasal drips , but i get over it fast.
I started to eat chocolate and drink coffee , it seems it doesnt botter me as long as i don't use them in excees and before sleep.
How about you? Sorry i didnt message on instagram , i can't access my acc from mobile cuz one of my acc was blocked so i cant login.

How did they diagnose it
@@erikam7313 how do you manage? I’m in misery
@@erikam7313 how you doing?what treatment are you doing?I have similar symptoms since 5month.
@@kristyhawes I had to go to a GI and ENT doctors. With the GI dr I learned I have a small hiatal hernia contributing to some of my symptoms and the ENT dr was the one who diagnosed it with a laryngoscopy (when they stick a camera down your throat). It wasn’t painful btw
