A member asked:
Is gastric reflux or gas known to cause sob for extended periods of a few months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seebelow: Gastric reflux is acid refluxing up the esophagus. This will not persay cause sob. But if you have reflux up to the hypopharynx then the acid can enter the lungs and cause lung scarring and infections. This can be treated with h-2blockers.
