Voice Damage caused by Acid Reflux

Acid Reflux Voice Damage (GERD)

What is Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux is the back-flow (or reflux) of gastric acid that comes from the stomach, which then meets the esophagus causing what is known as heartburn.

How can Acid Reflux affect your Vocal Cords and Your Vocal Anatomy In General?

In this instance, the acid gets mixed with saliva, thus can affect your vocal anatomy and, nevertheless, could cause you to lose your voice altogether.

This can also cause shortness of breath…

Due to the above, the reduction in air intake causes your vocal cords to strain. With that said, if left untreated, the risk of vocal cord damage rises.
