A member asked:

If you have difficulty breathing/chest tightness from reflux, is it possible for it to respond to rescue inhalers. (not sure if i have asthma yet)?

Probably not: If you do not have asthma , a rescue inhaler is unlikely to help you. On the other hand, reflux often co-exists with asthma and treating the reflux often reduces the chest symptoms without improving the lung function.
