Thank you,I’ve had a ctscan and upper GI workup..it all looked normal. But I’ve got a question. I took a very hard fall to the upper stomach under rib cage. It was on a muddy incline. So it was a upward motion. Both feet went out from under me. Could that have done something to the Fundoplication that doesn’t show up with the test they have done? Because my GERD started back not to long after that. I started doubling up on meds. But still no relief. And now I’m having acid induced asthma. That I’ve never had before. Sometimes I think I’m going to aspirate in my sleep and not wake up. I don’t know if I’m ever going to get a doctor to listen to me..so thought i wld get someone else’s opinion.
Thank you ☺️

Your fundoplication may have slipped with the fall and impact to your stomach. As far as scans go it's all technique and how the scan is performed as to wether or not anything will be found. When I had a re-repair of my hiatal hernia in Jan 2019 my surgeon said she undid my 24yr old fundoplication because the wrap had slipped and my stomach looked like an hour glass. She then placed a LINX band around the lower esophageal sphincter to pinch it close. It's a band of magnitized titanium beads that open when you swallow food so it can enter the stomach and then the magnitized beads close again. I'm reflux free for the first time in 30yrs.
