Question regarding my own health for all with Asthma

In the meantime, until you check all this out with the doctors, you can sleep on an incline. This is what they tell people with GERD to do, so that the contents of the stomach don't leak out into the esaphagus. You can try propping your pillows, or there are special incline pillows for this. Or they say put blocks under the head of the bed. I have even seen where it says 6 inches, but you can try a lower incline, and slowly increase until the symptoms subside. You can try this, unless your doctor has some other reason why this may not be good for you -- I wouldn't want it interfering with your night feeds -- so always check.

Per the Stanford doc's rec, tests to look into are: ph probe, mannometry, and esophagram.

Apart from reflux

do you guys think it could be something else, i mean pretend my reflux is fine, what would you think is then causing a problem..?

And i will definitely do those tests and get back to you, ill have to nag my doctors though, because they dont seem concerned about it so without nagging them to do those tests on me, all they'll say is take extra puffs of bronchdilater!

i'm sorry to hijack from your new question, but i just wanted to sympathize. my normal CF doc can be like this too. this is why i went all the way to Stanford for a 2nd opinion to figure out why i was having a decline in FEV1.

you're not alone. maybe consider a 2nd opinion
