gerd induced asthma

[Allisonc78]

For the past several months, starting around Dec I started experiencing chest pains that weren't cardiac related. It was a sharp, dull aching pain around the chest no particular area. Then it started getting worse, it would spread to my arm, neck and even ear at times. I got checked out at a cardiologist and everything was fine there. I then started getting these asthma like attacks after I ate. This went on for a few weeks. I set up an appt with a gastroenterologist after that and had an endoscopy done. There were ulcers in my esophagus, but he didn't see any weakness in the LES. Eventually I started experiencing more constant shortness of breath and now have it constantly. I went to a pulm and got a pulm function test and it came back mild asthma. But he still seemed confused as to why it was such constant shortness of breath. I now think I have gerd induced asthma. I have never had it as a child. Do you think there are any surgical options to relieve the asthma symptoms? Even though he did not see the weakness in the LES could it still open at the wrong time?
