Hi Chalupa
Well he is a Larangolagist , which is an ENT that deals only with the throat. He can check to make sure you have nothing else going on in your throat causing the breathing problems, like with your vocal cords etc.... I am starting to see a slight improvement, but at least he gave me a diagnosis that helped me understand a little better why I am breathing so bad. I see a speach therapist under him that gave me breathing exercises to strengthen my throat muscles. He see's this a lot since all he deals with is the throat. The receptionist is really sweet , tell her Alexandra B said HI. Right now I am just on Aciphex and KLonopin, but the breathing exercises is the main treatment.
Anyway, do a look up on him, he's the head of NYU Voice center with tons of experience in this problem. He is located in the main NYU hospital at 33rd and 1st.
Good Luck and Keep me posted.

I was told I have LPR, which is silent reflux, but I also see a doctor at NYU for Vocal Cord Dysfuntion. His name is Dr. Milan Amin, he's great he is the Director of the Voice Center at NYU, just google his name, you should check him out he's a larangologist, maybe he could help you.
Anyway, I know how you feel , this has been going on for me since Nov and it feels like eternity.

HI I HAD A MANOMETERY TEST DONE AND THAT SAID THAT MY ESPHOGUS IS WORKING FINE AND SO IS MY THROAT. I AM ON ANOTHER FORUM ABOUT REFLUX AND THEY ARE TELLING ME TO TRY THE NATURAL WAY AROUND IT. TO TRY PROBIOTICS I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THEM.

Chalupa,

My sleep specialists told me that acid reflux can be a symptom of a sleeping disorder called sleep apnea. My primary physician was not aware of this. I had asked for a referral to a sleep specialist because I was told that I stopped breathing for periods of time when I slept.

Treatment for sleep apnea is med free...you might want to do more research in this area.

Good luck and healthy eating!
