YES, there is a condition that doctors like to call psuedoasthma and it is from acid reflux. I have had problems for years with reflux and this last time that i was pregnant i had to use an inhaler. My baby has it too, he has had numerous hospitalizations from reflux that caused asthma like problems.
see a doctor they need to do a scope of your stomach and put u on some stronger meds like prevacid...

ya i think so , cause i get same probs and i am on ranatadine pills for my stomach, i have ventolin for asthma but i still get this breathing prob after eating. I have to wear some very loose clothing, no waist band clothes, or i take a brisk walk 15-20 minutes , this seems to help, good luck with that , its not the most comfy feeling.

Laryngospasm: What causes it?
Q. What causes laryngospasm? Is it related to bronchospasm?
Penny/ No state given


A.Laryngospasm is a brief spasm of the vocal cords. It can be frightening because it temporarily interrupts speech and breathing. Often the cause can't be determined. But it can be associated with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Laryngospasm is unrelated to bronchospasm, which occurs in asthma.

A laryngospasm happens suddenly and usually lasts 30 to 60 seconds. During this time, you may experience great difficulty breathing through the upper airways in your voice box (larynx). Your vocal cords eventually relax without causing serious problems. Unfortunately, there's no effective medication to relax the vocal cords more quickly.

yes because the acid reflux actually comes up and sometimes down the esophagus or into the lungs. It also can mimic a heart attack.

No.Research has shown that asthma patients are more likely to have GERD, but GERD patients are NOT more likely to have asthma.

Yes it can.

Severe GERD can push acid into the airways and cause asthma symptoms.

Such severe reflux must be evaluated by a doctor as he/she would want to check for esofageal scarring too.

yes. i have teh same problem.
