Can acid reflux cause shortness of breath?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unusual: Acid reflux can cause irritation of the upper airway, leading to cough and even shortness of breath. Evaluation by a doctor should be done to rule out other possible, and perhaps more common causes of shortness of breath.
