A member asked:
I had an esophageal reflux crisis for a week, with pharyngeal globus and gas. for the last 5 days i have been short of breath. is it related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Esophageal reflux can cause bronchospasm by either stimulating the vagus nerve or by aspirating small amounts of the stomach acid. Shortness of breath can be serious so you should see a doctor ASAP for evaluation/treatment. You may need an inhaler to treat if bronchospasm is identified. So, see a doctor today! Best of luck to you!

Can gas get stuck in your esophagus and cause it to expand and cause chest pain? Or is this acid reflux all test done on heart & nothing is wrong.
