my symptoms seem to be similar to yours. small hh, breathing issues. waking up at night alot gasping or shortness of breath. also sporatic sometimes during day for a month than disapears for awhile. wanted to know if you ever got over it. am positive the hh is causing the probs. thinking about surgery even though my heartburn is minimal, none at all most of the time. just curious, let me know if you ever beat it.
