HI I have gone through your mail and as you said that you had been diagnosed as a case of LPR your E.N.T.doctor had given you tranquilizer and antacids but you feel very less relief, you becomes worse during lying on bed.You have passed about six months with this problem. Since you feel no responce to treatment of L.P.R. therefore I would like to suggest you to go for upper G.I.endoscopy,and if no abnormality is detected in upper G.I.endoscopy,than consult neurologist to rule out Motor neuron disease.Thanks.
