That’s wonderful news! So just to be clear, the pulmonologist cleared you of any lung disease. May I ask how the silent reflux was diagnosed?!? Was that what was causing your inability to catch a deep breath?!? If so, I’m curious if they explained how that works?? I have some of those symptoms nasal blockages, some drainage, mucus building up in the back of my throat, increasing need to clear my throat, some hoarseness, inability to catch a deep breath.

The ENT used a camera scope through my nose and into my throat.(Laryngoscope?) I do feel a post nasal drip and have been diagnosed with GERD... It seems that the two things, together with allergies create the breathing problem.
The pulmonologists tests show my lungs working at 100% capacity.
I will make an appt. with a gastro doctor to make sure nothing else is going on.
Your symptoms sound a lot like mine..
