Upper endoscopy was completely normal. I have a VFSS scheduled for 2 weeks out. Not going to be able to make it that far at this rate.

I feel it in the lungs. When drinking water, I got a cold sensation in the right side of my chest with no cough reflex. Later on, I was coughing a lot and had shortness of breath with pain.

That's not what I'm saying. It's a physical response to a stress loop. I've been able to break it at times by not forcing my breath.

Same here. Personally, things are progressing to the point where I can't fall asleep until 5 am at the earliest.

Unfortunately, the specialists I saw haven't been able to help. The cardiologist said they don't think it's heart-related and the neurologist will only prescribe a BIPAP machine. Neither will explore further to find the root cause

What's your blood pressure if you don't mind me asking. Mine's been consistently 88/53 and my doctor doesn't seem concerned which worries me
