Chronic Shortness of breath

As many others in this forum I've had bad shortness of breath due to LPR that I've had a very difficult time getting under control. Seems like any amount of reflux that gets in to my upper airways just causes globus and difficulty getting a deep breath with miserable air hunger. I've already made all the changes i.e. diet, medicine, incline all the obvious stuff. I'm looking at surgery at this point and I'm curious if anyone has gone the surgical route if you had any long term improvement? I already know surgery is indicated for GERD and less likely to help LPR - but I believe I have exhausted all possible options at this point.
