A member asked:
Can silent reflux cause can acid reflux cause pulmonary fibrosis or copd orlung cancer ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Acid reflux affects the esophagus and, at times, the upper respiratory passage(larynx, trachea) but i wouldn't expect pulmonary fibrosis or lung cancer as complications. If you have reflux, see your md for treatment and dietary advice in order to protect your esophagus from chronic changes.
