A member asked:
Severe achy pain in my trachea area & trouble swallowing (feels like i've been strangled. hard!) after 2 days of acid reflux and a slight sore throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably is LPR: Exposure of the vocal cords to stomach acid ; pepsin will result in inflammation of the vocal cords (as is also often seen with acid regurgitation). Acute laryngitis may result, but watch out for chronic hoarseness, throat clearing, airway spasms, bronchitis, an asthma-type presentation, and even a higher risk of throat cancer. Impedance ph testing with a symptom diary can best characterize this.
