LPR - Throat Wheezing/Shortness of Breath
by MichelleH., Oct 06, 2009 10:54PM
Hi all,
I've been dealing with LPR for the last year or so now, and some days are better than others. Lately, I've been having problems with throat wheezing, voice loss, and shortness of breath. I've already had a Methacholine challenge done, and they've concluded that the wheezing is coming from my larynx, and I don't have Asthma, but to be on the safe side, I'm going to have the test repeated this Thursday.
My Pulmonologist feels that I am suffering from VCD, as a direct result of the LPR, so I am scheduled to see a Larynologist in another week. When I try to talk, if it's over a few minutes, I get really hoarse, and I start to lose my voice, on top of that I start to get really short of breath and my throat begins to feel swollen. I also have chronic nasal congestion, and near constant throat clearing.
My question is this: Is there anyone else out there who has LPR and suffers from these symptoms? Specifically the throat wheezing and shortness of breath?
Thanks,
Michelle

Am having scopes soon....I definitely feel like LPR is my problem. Sore and dry throat, difficulty swallowing food sometimes, throat clearing, weak voice, waking up in the middle of the night gasping for air....all horrible.
Apple cider vinegar helps.....just want to get scopes first.

I have ALL of the symptoms that you mentioned above, including waking up at night gasping for air. I just had my throat scoped again last week, and the ENT tells me that everything is still really swollen. I've started going to a Speech Pathologist in an effort to get some of these symptoms under control.
There is a website that I frequent, where there are others who suffer from LPR and it's negative effects: www.heartburn-help.com
Tried ACV, it burns my throat too much.
