It sounds very much like acid reflux. The only symptoms that I had was coughing and mucus. Went to lung dr and had all the tests everything ok there. Back to GI dr. who didn't think it was reflux because no pain only coughing. Had all the test including 24 hr ph test (fun) which showed I was coughing when I had acid reflux. My cough was so hard that it was causing other problems like blood pressure. Finally had Nissen and all I can say is if this ever turns out to need surgery only let the best bariatric surgeon you can find who has lots of Nissen's with loose wrap under his belt touch you. I had no side effects and am doing great, but there are loads of horror stories out there. The surgeon makes the difference.
Hi, I was wondering, have you found a solution to your problem? I currently have similar symptoms to those last ones you mentioned - I often feel chest pressure and the need to burp, but get throat gurgles instead, and also can't take a deep breath around the time when these throat gurgles (sometimes burps) occur. If you found a solution, please email me at hayl storms @ gm ail.com (take out the spaces). Thank you.
