Probably reflex: Difficulty breathing is one of the more frightening symptoms of acid reflux or the chronic form of the condition, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Research published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology notes that GERD may be associated with breathing difficulties such as bronchoaspiration, which can sometimes lead to life-threatening respiratory complications.
