Does surgery work for Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)?

This sounds exactly like me. I had a panic attack because I was unable to breathe. I went to the ER. They told me I have acid reflux but after tests and no heartburn I have LPR. The GI doctor just wants to treat me with ppi meds. Have have been on 3 different ones because they do not work for me. Not sure what to do. Have you found any relief?

It was suggested that I go see an allergist who specializes in sinuses.He did allergy testing and said I am very allergic to dust mites. He is sending me in a perscription for a new nasal spray, as I told him I have an anxiety attack when I cannot breathe thru my nose!! And actually, as the weather has changed, the nose closing off is less than before. I am hoping the new spray will be my salvation.

This has been mentioned several times before, but check out The Chronic Cough Enigma by Dr. Jamie Koufmann. It’s an easy to understand explanation of LPR with suggestions on how to remedy the problem-or at least improve. Book is appropriate even if you don’t have a cough, just the sore throat.
