Have you joined any LPR groups on Facebook? I think anxiety could worsen it. I suffer from presbyesophagus and take 20 mg of Amitriptyline. Have you done a esophageal manometry test? Are you using an inhaler for Asthma?

Hi!

Thank you so much for your reply.

Anxiety definitely is worsening it. I don't know which is causing it more, the LPR or the anxiety. The consensus among my providers is that it's just a vicious cycle of both.

It's funny you mention the manometry test because my doctor just ordered it for me a few days before I posted here. She said it will take a long time to actually get it scheduled and completed, but I am waiting for them to call me for scheduling right now.

I do not take an inhaler because they never worked for me. I saw a pulmonologist who said that my PFT showed very light or early onset asthma. However, when I told them the inhaler didn't help at all and my lung scan was clean, they said I might not even have an asthma issue.

Is your medication for anxiety? Does it help? I will look up those Facebook groups!
