A member asked:
Dr says probably lpr. i have shortness of breath at times. how can i tell if lpr has caused acid in my lungs? is this life threatening ? i'm worried
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LPR: Treatment includes inclining the torso when sleeping, avoiding chocolate, mint, caffeine, alcohol and large meals prior to bedtime. Acid reducing drugs such as Prilosec reduce scarring. Pulmonary, ENT or GI specialist consultations may be necessary if symptoms are intractable.
