No, it’s just been figured out through cardiac and pulmonary. And I’m seeing an ENT in a few weeks. My fear is that I will end up having to wait for Gastroenterology too! The wait time for appointments is crazy! I was lucky to get in on a cancellation to a pulmonary. Not only this LPR but asthma also developed. My cardiologist first came up with the asthma condition (that I’ve never had before) and prescribed a rescue inhaler for some immediate relief. The pulmonologist then prescribed an inhaler treatment that has helped a lot and discussed her suspicion of LPR. Between the two conditions I was a mess. Have you had asthma with it too? I understand they often develop together.

Good luck with your tests. I look forward to hearing about them, the process, the results and the prognosis. Please update!

I have the thick mucous also. I have a problem with food sticking in my esophagus. I often gag,choke,and regurgitate the food. I was diagnosed with sphincters 9 months ago and had my esophagus stretched. It hasn’t helped. Doctor says to have it done again.
As soon as I start to choke my throat and then mouth flood with with very thick stringy phlegm.

I too have been told I have severe asthma or COPD....they gave me a rescue inhaler - it didn't help. Now Trelagy is working but I think it's just treating the symptoms. My nose has stopped running but the phlem is still there. I will take it for a WIN.....for now. Any relief is better than none.
