They did a barium swallow… And to be honest with you I can’t honestly answer your question because it seem like they suspected it. I’m not really clear other than that. I didn’t talk very long to the Gastro because he was so nasty and intimidating so I guess they think it’s from that. I am going to order a bed that I think it’s about $600 I can let you know what it is I already Have a mattress to put on it. I like the Ambra it’s sturdy and strong… I know it sounds crazy that I don’t know for sure if it’s the reflux but there are some unanswered questions after going there… I’m going to talk more to Dr Swenson when I see him on the 20th about it. What does he think. I’m not sure how do you know if it’s 30° maybe Google

Most likely they do not know for sure if GERD is the cause per say. I think that may be rather simplistic if they do but then I am certainly no expert. I do know for me there were a lot of factors involved around the time my symptoms began decades ago. I had repeated bad chest colds one after the other, low D3 levels and or immunity at that time, life long GI issues so most likely also some silent reflux? A perfect storm? Who knows. I already have a good bed frame and mattress that adjust so all set there. Just find it hard to determine the 30 degrees and that seems like a lot if you want to sleep on your side! Too bad about the GI Dr. Sounds like a cardiologist I saw who spoke to me in a manor he would not have had I been male.
