Reflux: of acid from your stomach up into your throat can result in chronic (prolonged) throat pain. Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) can be worse when the stomach is empty. A medical evaluation, including testing for H.pylori (a bacteria which is a common cause of GERD) is indicated. GERD can be treated, and H.pylori can be cured. Without treatment, this can lead to serious problems.
