Yes it can cause coughing, especially when you’re sleeping. It can also damage little by little your vocal cords. Remember that when reflux go up, it can go directly to your trachea. About the asthma attacks, I am not sure.
It may cause some coughing but asthma, I think not.
ABSOLUTELY. Even though I could go into a lot of medical complex talk I can speak from EXPERIENCE. I have had Chronic Asthma and Bronchitis since I moved to Oklahoma. I thought I had picked up a bug from one person in particular because she coughed all the time time and couldn’t get that out of my mind. I never knew I had acid reflux until my family physician said that my Asthma was so out of control that I had to see a Specialist and one of the first things he did was run a bunch of tests and I was IMMEDIATELY diagnosed with GERD. I never really noticed that I had acid reflux because I coughed to much all the time. I did however use a lot of Tums and stuff. He put me on Prilosec and within a couple of weeks I noticed an immediate difference in my asthma. He also added a very low dose of Singular as a preventive medication and I do have two different inhalers (Flovent & Aerobid ….I just got a third and am not sure what it is) and have a nebulizer at home for emergencies and so I don’t have to go the ER for breathing treatments.
Once I got the GERD and acid reflux under control my Asthma and Bronchitis haven’t acted back up once. I’m sure now that it’s hot I’m going to have some problems but I never in a million years would have guessed that it was acid reflux causing my problem. For all the years I suffered with the Asthma and all the steroids I took could kick my famly Dr. in the foot for not knowing what was wrong!!!!
