Hi Lucy,
You might want to ask if a pH capsule monitoring study can be done. This test will determine if your symptoms are actually the result of reflux. If the cause is not reflux, esophageal manometry can be done to determine if there is a muscle problem in the upper esophageal sphincter. I hope that this information is helpful. Call your doctor and ask about these tests.
