How can laryngopharyngeal reflux be caused by anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflux and anxiety: Anxiety and other stress related psychological symptoms are linked to "fight-flight" reaction, cortisol secretion and many other autonomic system reactions. These in turn affect stomach acid production as well as smooth muscles that control sphincters. Acid reflux and its extension to laryngotracheal reflux is one of the possible links.
