Abstract
There is a relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease and certain respiratory symptoms and findings. Among these are cough, laryngitis, and wheezing dyspnea. The pathophysiology of these conditions can vary from actual aspiration of gastric content to esophageal mucosal inflammation with the respiratory symptoms induced by a vagally mediated reflex mechanism.
