Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR)

Hi, I’ve been suffering with LPR for 5 months. I’ve tried multiple PPI’s, H2 blockers, and antacids. I’ve changed my diet and elevated my bed. I’ve been to multiple gastrointestinal doctors and ENT’s that can’t seem to help me. I’m not getting any relief and my symptoms are getting worse. On a daily basis I have burning in my chest and ears, sore throat, constant sour taste in my mouth, post nasal drip, and asthma. I think the worst part is my mental health. I’m battling anxiety and depression everyday and fear that I am going to be stuck like this forever. I was wondering if anyone is suffering these symptoms and has any advice? I appreciate any one who can reach out
Thank you,
Michelle

Thank you so much for your suggestion. It is greatly appreciated! I’m so glad I joined this group. It’s nice to hear from people that are going through similar situations. Thank you again!
Hi @michelle34, I am sorry you are having such a hard time getting help. You will see that I did move your inquiry over to the ongoing discussion about LPR. This not only groups like topics together and pushes the conversation to the top of the list, it also allows everyone in both conversations one common place to see all the comments and respond.
Michelle, what proton pump inhibitors have you tried so far?
@Michele34; I can sympathize with you. I went through that with Gelsolin and FKTN LGMD$. Don't know of only one is the cause, but I have several genes that relate to these two and impact the larynx . If you have had your genome sequenced, you or your doctor can go first to OMIM, and check out your symptoms, then check out which genes might be having an effect, then go to Human Phenotype Ontology at HPI.jax.app/browse/gene/xxxx (enter Gene number) to find out the major phenotypes. It will save you much worry, time, and money, and make your doctor a lot smarter.
Michelle, I know this is an old post. I’m new to this forum. How are your symptoms now? Have you found any solutions to this LPR other than diet change? Why don’t doctors instant this illness.

@michelle34 I sent another reply earlier about Dr. Halland at Mayo MN (so look for that too) . He prescribed two medications, a 20mg Esomeprazole Magnesium and a 15 mg Mirtazapine (as he says, it will help you think you should eat) ..
