Hi, I am new to this group as well as I have been recently diagnosed. I am not a medical professional, but I was diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux which I probably had for over a year, was misdiagnosed and it was untreated. It is silent reflux and does not have outward Gerd symptoms. So mine started with massive shortness of breath, loss of voice, cough and fatigue from the constant shortness of breath. Then excess mucus in my throat. This went on for 11 months before I had any kind of burning sensation in my chest- or any typical acid reflux Gerd type symptoms. So I was at a pulmonologist who missed it for the longest time. I share this with you because mine ultimately led to the LPR and GERD and because it was not addressed properly for so long I have inflammations up and down my esophagus and the top of my stomach.

Please seek a second opinion. I kept pushing all my doctors in Philadelphia ( they did not figure it out) until I had to seek care at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Advocating for myself and educating myself was the best decision I made.
