Hi Margaret!

I looked it up also and found a little info on these websites:

pg=disease6&organ=1&disease=37&lang_id=1

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7653424

I went ahead and called the doctor to ask some more questions. She

said that it is mostly associated with Acid Reflux... but it can be

with muscular diseases or syndromes. She said she diagnosed mine

this way, because all my tests came back ok.

Hope this information helps some...
