Hello,
I am sorry that you are having such terrible difficulties, and I wish you well. I just found out today about Silent Reflux. Never having had what people typically call acid reflux, I was skeptical when my doctor told me that my wheezing, coughing, hoarse voice, and multiple sleep issues might be related to acid reflux. I am to start taking Pepcid tonight. Co-incidentally, my husband experienced problems with shortness of breath, and saw his PCP today, who told him the same thing.
I have been reading about this problem, and I am stunned to find that so many of my symptoms and his, that have gone on for years, might be explained by this diagnosis.
I have been told forever that I have atypical asthma, and I have to some extent, but I am not finding that my inhalers give me any relief from the coughing and so forth.
Obviously, my knowledge of this is new, and I have nothing to share yet about remedies, but I think it is helpful to have a fellow sufferer with whom to commiserate and discuss ideas. I would like to hear anything else you have to say about this condition. Thank you for what you have shared. I hope you feel better soon.

When I have had GERD in the middle of the night (which as I laid out in a long post is now pretty much a thing of the past with dreadful detours thanks to PPIs)... I too found the acid invaded my lungs and caused asthma. I knew others with whom that was also the case. The trick is to heal the underlying GERDS. Believe me it can be done. It can NOT be done with PPIs which suppress acid production.
Eat much earlier. If you are overweight, get Jason Fung's Obesity Code and try intermittent fasting. It will heal a great many chronic diseases, including Insulin Resistance causing type 2 Diabetes ...get Fung's Diabetes Code for that.
Good luck on your healing journey. Most Western trained docs haven't a clue, still, despite all the double blind trials they run that end in failure for the received "wisdom."
