A member asked:
I've had hoarseness and frequent throat clearing for years.always thought it was post nasal drip but lately developed heart burn. likely gerd related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Or rather LPR, laryngopharyngeal reflux, that's when the stomach acid reaches the throat in GERD. Kindly ask your doctor to refer you to an ENT specialist who would examine your upper airways too for the possible post nasal drip as well, you may need treatment for both conditions, LPR can be controlled when GERD is controlled, good luck
