A member asked:
Would inhalers help someone with anxiety symptoms or dyspnea caused by reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO Inhaler: If U are talking about albuterol, it tends to increase anxiety. The only way to help reflux is to stop eating & drinking an hour or more before lying down. If doesnt work, need to elevate head of bed, gravity hepls. There are acid reducers, but full stomach leads to reflux. Chronic reflux causes lung disease. Even if no acid, enzymes in stomach hurt lungs. See MD to help with reflux.
