Update: I’ve been on this thread for quite some time, around a year probably since this started for me in late August 2022. I recently had a barium swallow test and it showed moderate to severe reflux. That triggers asthma which was diagnosed a few months in to the whole ordeal. I’ll see Gastro early February. It’s such a wait for every specialist! Over the last year I’ve seen cardiology, Pulmonology, ENT & my PCP. It really is good to have some validation now since most of them treat me like I’m crazy! Resolving it, well, that’s another story. Currently I’m on Esomeprozole magnesium AM, albuterol as needed , Symbicort AM/PM, Montelukast PM and use a wedge pillow and have started an elimination diet(removing sugar, grains and processed foods). I’m managing better than I have since it all started but have a long way to go. Again, as I’ve stated repeatedly, chew sugarless gum (extra polar ice works best for me) to keep the phlegm at bay.
