[QUOTE="FunkOdyssey, post: 240466, member: 44064"] Yes, in my case I attributed it to a flare-up of my LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux) symptoms, caused by TRT. You have already been complaining that it worsened your GERD symptoms so I think it's a strong possibility for you as well. During LPR flares, my sinuses swell shut and I can't breathe properly through my nose. This type of inflammation does not respond to steroid sprays but does respond to nasal decongestant sprays like afrin (careful, these are addictive). LPR can also cause asthma symptoms, hoarse voice, coughing, post-nasal drip, etc. You mentioned your breathing becomes heavier and you feel out of breath which sounds like the asthma symptoms that are associated with reflux. I have some permanent lung scarring from mine that was picked up on a CT scan. With LPR, you have gaseous reflux containing aerosolized pepsin digestive enzyme which can inflame the upper airways and vocal cords. The pepsin lodges in the tissues and waits to be activated by acidic food and beverages to cause more damage. It can be permanently deactivated with sufficient alkalinity, so sipping alkaline water is often helpful. [/QUOTE]
