GERD ; Lungs: Gerd can cause pulmonary symptoms such as triggering asthma or even causing pneumonitis. These can be worsened if one has a hiatal hernia or other anatomical problems. If you are experiencing these symptoms or frequent gerd, it is important that you see your doctor and adequately treat your gerd. For most, lifestyle modification can help alleviate gerd but many others need treatment.
