I'm a 35-year-old woman who's been dealing with lax LES since 2019. The first signs were a persistent cough, and after an endoscopy, they diagnosed me with this condition. I've been sleeping on an elevated bed or wedge pillow since then, but I'm still struggling with the symptoms. It feels like a nightmare. Is there any real treatment for this? Right now, I'm dealing with constant heartburn, a sour taste in my mouth, a heavy chest, and some breathing issues. It's like I'm experiencing these symptoms non-stop. What can I do?
