    Hello Chris, 

    I have only occasional heartburn and most of the time I have LPR with dysphagia, shortness of breath and chest pressure, chest/back pain. Smoking made it worse. If your issue is not respiratory, but directly relate to silent reflux then there is direct causality between smoking and relaxation of your esophageal sphincter. Quitting smoking helped me a great deal. You will have to change your diet as well nonetheless, because this might be combination of various factors. It is good to check with your GP and test whether reflux and respiratory issues are directly related.

    Thank you, 

    Martin

    I have damage to my lungs from coughing up stomach acid. I hope you are seeing a specialist and getting some kind of treatment for the acid reflux
