Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, you are right. Uncontrolled HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can cause respiratory problems like asthma, bronchitis and aspiration pneumonitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out aspiration pneumonia.PFT is needed to rule out asthma and bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Better control of HERD is needed to avoid above-mentioned respiratory problems.
