Brief update - @alamogal635 my PH Study came back normal, as did an abdominal unltrasound. Unfortunately, the persistent mucus in my throat with no cough, upper abdominal pain, shortness of breath, and lethargy are all ongoing. Any ideas are greatly appreciated, as I have ceased all of my usual daily activities.

@julanned- You must be feeling totally lost at this point. I'm so sorry. It's horrible to feel hopeless. I have felt this many times in fighting my PTSD.
The PH tests for GERD is a very fussy one. What I mean by that is there are a lot of restrictions before you take it about what meds can be taken during the testing period, before and after. Did you follow them to a T?

You have not mentioned any blood work that you had, and you have mentioned that you had had infections before. Have they raised up their ugly head again?
I'm also wondering how long you took advair. Sometimes it takes a while for inhalers to kick in and sometimes is a trial to find those that are perfect for you. Have you tried others?
