Does anyone else have a hard time taking a deep breath in when their acid reflux is acting up? Maybe that's just me. My acid reflux always makes my throat feel tight and irritated. I never feel it in my chest, it's always in my upper back and throat.

    Hi Dev

    I too have this problem , it feels as though not enough air is being taken in and I also have the lump in throat feeling nearly all the time. I have been suffering with Acid Reflux/GERD for over 2 years now. Most of the time I cope OK but every now and then it gets the better of me and then Anxiety steps in which makes it worse.

    All the best

    Robin

      Thanks for your reply Robin! I know how it is when anxiety steps in. Anxiety is a terrible thing, definitely plays tricks on you and your body sad

    Google vocal cord dysfunction, it's common with GERD/LPR.

    Cutting out acidic foods like tomatoes, citrus fruits, garlic, chocolate might help too

      Thank you for your reply! I will look into the vocal cord dysfunction. I have tried cutting a lot of those foods from my diet and eating more healthier than I did. But I cannot lie, I am weak for chocolate and garlic-y foods and I've noticed those two are the most irritable foods for me sad.
