@gabrielm hi, thought I would give you an update. I was seen by my doctor and she obtained some blood work and a xray this far. Chest xray was normal and i have not gotten my results from my bloodwork yet. She also put me on Protonix and I have to say I am 90% better and have been on it for 1 week. I do not feel so much the need to take a deep breath. I am also going to have an ultrasound of my thyroid bext week and let you know the results of that. TBH...it was hard for me to belive it was "silent reflux " because in my mind how did it get so bad that it effected my breathing without ANY other symptoms ie: heartburn, fullness and any other symptoms that people complain of. After a lot of reading on it that the pepcid damaged my esophageal never so therefore I felt nothing until my gasping for a deep breath and that made since to me. Now, is that the whole problem, I dont know because I am awaiting other test and it that comes back normal I will go see an ENT. I hope this helps and I will let you know the other results as I get them.
