Anti reflux surgery: There are times when acid reflux, hiatal hernia, laryngeal spasms, and aspiration pneumonia are related; the acid comes easily up the esophagus (due to the hernia) and irritates the throat. Okay to get evaluated by a GI doc. An egd (scope) with manometry will get you a diagnosis. You may benefit from a surgery to correct the hiatal hernia. Good luck.
