Why do you feel breathless after eating when you have gerd? and why does it usually attacking at night?

Maybe LPR: Exposure of vocal cords to stomach acid ; pepsin results in inflammation of the vocal cords (due to 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. Laying down at night often promotes reflux. Check prior healthtap answers 4relief, but see doctor.
