Suffering from LPR and Anxiety. Need help.

About me:

I(26M) have been suffering from intense Laryngopharyngeal Reflux for the past 1.5 years. I am a vegetarian (But I do eat dairy products and eggs). Initially, it was just bad whenever I had really heavy food or pizza or something like that. But for the past 6 months, I have not been able to eat any of the food that I like. Some background:

My symptoms:

  1. Breathing difficulties
  2. Tight chest (which again prevents breathing beyond chest)
  3. Swallowing Difficulty
  4. Globus Sensation
  5. Tight neck and shoulders
  6. Feeling full all the time
  7. Waking up gasping for breath after lying down/sleeping

List of food that I avoid:

  1. Meat (Vegetarian)
  2. Tomatoes
  3. Tamarind
  4. High-fat dairy products
  5. Coffee
  6. Alcohol
  7. Cigarette
  8. Raw onions and garlic
  9. Soda

Food that I eat occasionally:

  1. Tea
  2. Milk
  3. Fried onions and garlic

Food that I feel helps me:

  1. Buttermilk
  2. Licorice Root powder
  3. Ginger tea
  4. Betel leaf (Tried it twice, think it helps really well)
  5. Fennel Seeds

What did the Gastroenterologist doctor say?

Says I don't have acid reflux because of the following:

Took the following tests:

  1. Endoscopy (No h.pylori bacteria found)
  2. Barium Sulphate Swallow Test (Was able to swallow the tablets with difficulty but no reflux found)
  3. Chest CT Scan ()

She says it's just anxiety causing the above symptoms.

What did the ENT say?

ENT performed an upper endoscopy and says its Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. My throat was super red.

Medicines that I take:

  1. PPI 40mg (Pantoprazole) in empty stomach in the morning

  2. H2 inhibitors (Ranitidine) before dinner.

  3. Gaviscon Advanced Uk (After meals)

What do I need from you guys?

I need HEEELP to get my life back and need a potential cure. I have restricted my diet as much as possible. It was so painful to give up coffee and milk(I looove them). I gave up eating fast food. I am not that old and I want to live a normal life like a 26-year-old and not give reasons to avoid co-workers and friends whenever they want to go to a restaurant or have pizza.

I have been doing and have done the above and although there is little relief, I haven't had a cure. I developed an anxiety disorder last year, and my GI says its the reason for whatever symptoms I feel but I strongly feel its not anxiety since the intensity of my reflux changes based on the food I eat.

Does anybody else face the same symptoms as me?

What did you guys do to effectively solve the problem? I really need help here as I have given up my hope on doctors.
