Have you had any treatment already? What is the reason you’re seeking treatment at Mayo?

I haven’t had treatment for the K-J yet. Had been dealing with GERD which got under control with meds and diet. I. I no longer on meds. Then this nighttime coughing up mucus led to getting the barium swallow test showing the Killian-Jamison diverticulum which is very rare. So I decided Mayo would have more experience if I need surgery. It is getting worse as experiencing food caught more often plus can’t get a good night’s sleep with nightly coughing and mucus. Hoping for Mayo help.
