ENT is the wrong option if you have dysphagia/odynophagia. You need to see a gastroenterologist and have endoscopy.

If you are coughing and short of breath when you eat or drink, you need a swallow study - that's speech pathology eval

I have a family member with EE. Her experience sounded a lot like the original post.

I have EE, and although there are some similarities to what the OP describes,

Possible. Or maybe people with the same diagnosis experience different symptoms.

not important, but EE = erosive esophagitis, EoE = eosinophilic esophagitis

Good to know. EoE is what I have.

With that timing and location probably reflux exacerbation.

So you decided to take a sub therapeutic dose of omeprzole

I get that I took some risk here, but in my defense

That’s why you’re probably going to now get a barium upper GO study and/or EGD

Had an inconclusive EGD last time (no obvious issues).

Proton pump inhibitors are among the safest medications one can be prescribed

40mg twice?

Probably bad internet advice.. once daily is fine.

You may need an EGD. Find a GI doc.
