  • I actually have chronic throat clearing? Could silent reflux have gone on longer before any symptoms? I really worry about the esophageal cancer or if the damage can be reversed

  • Can you say that again in non-medical English? Thanks so much lol...

  • Thank you Doc for all that statistical info but can you tell me what DOES help,please? I need to know,and so do some others here,I believe.

  • @sistagirl488deleted I've had reflux for many years, I suffered as a baby and now have severe throat spasm, cricopharyngeal spasm, chronic throat clearing, burning in the ears, voice changes, loss of voice, choking in sleep, explosive belching, etc. It has been discoeverd that I have a very weak lower esophageal valve, but they have refused me the Nissen.

  • @zeldagoblin for how long have you had LPR and what are ytour symptoms?

  • yea well that was more then a year ago....And nothing has changed for a cure.

  • Interesting. I get absolutely no relief from my ENT symptoms using PPI, and those are the ones I find most distressing. So, we know what won't help. Any idea what will?
