Summary
The user had what they called vagus nerve dysfunction since influenza in 2018, diagnosed three years later, with reflux (LPR) symptoms starting at the same time, then a constant runny nose, 24/7 post-nasal drip and bounding pulse after COVID-19 in 2020, which they called autonomic dysfunction. Allergy testing, reflux meds, a six-month low-acid diet and MCAS and histamine checks brought nothing. By August 2026, on twice-daily 40 mg PPI, they had improved but symptoms never fully resolved.

Their words about each treatment
- reflux meds (PPI) · Helped
reflux meds, lowest to highest dose ... now I'm on x2 40 mg PPI. It keeps the LPR associated from PVVN away but still have lots of symptoms.
- ipratropium · Helped
have to use ipratropium every 4th hour otherwise it gets messy
In context ↗ - low acid diet · No change
I experimented with a low acid diet for 6 months, that was bad for my weight, didn't do anything
