Welcome back!

Acid Reflux Disease can cause your throat to become very sore. This happens when stomach acid leaves the stomach and travels to the lungs and even to the esophagus. The acid can become mixed with saliva and affect the throat, sometimes causing voice loss.

Another way reflux disease can affect the voice is through causing shortness of breath, limiting the the amount of air available, and impacting your ability to speak. This lack of air strains the vocal cords, and over time, they can become damaged. The affected person’s voice will either become thin and barely audible or it will become deeper.

Acid Reflux Disease is a common disorder that can be helped, though not cured. Medications and diet can make a difference. Because this disease can affect your voice, it is important to make sure to receive treatment. Remember, only a doctor can diagnose acid reflux disease and prescribe the appropriate medication. There are, however, many alternative treatments available for those that are looking for naturopathic solutions. Even so, a doctor should be consulted with before any treatment is begun.
