Question to those diagnosed with LPR, do you find that your symptoms are worse 1st thing in the morning, gets a little better during the day and then becomes even worse later in the eve. I sound like I have laryngitis early eve. and have a chronic cough, and feel like I am choking on my secretions. Then I panic because I cannot breathe through my nose.

If you haven’t already, please read The Chronic Cough Enigma. My symptom (sore throat) is pretty constant although maybe a tiny bit worse while lying down.

You could get the TNE test where an ENT specialist runs a tube up your nose and down your throat and takes pictures. It sounds awful but really isn’t.

You could also get a Bravo meter implanted via endoscopy. This measures the PH in your GI tract and would determine if you have too much acid or not enough. I just had this done but do not have results yet. Will update when I do.

Best wishes, Cindy
