Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / December 2006can asthma irritate esophogus?
I had a bout of asthma, and after two weeks of off and on bouts with it, my lower esophogus got sore. I have GERD over the years, but this appears to be irritation from the constant post nasal drip and asthma issues. Anyone experience similiar symptoms? : I had a bout of asthma, and after two weeks of off and on bouts with it, my : lower esophogus got sore. : I have GERD over the years, but this appears to be irritation from the : constant post nasal drip and asthma : issues. Anyone experience similiar symptoms? My entirely subjective experience is that coughing (or just working hard to breathe) can cause these sorts of symptoms.  Signature-------- Sarr Blumson sarr.blumson@alum.dartmouth.org http://www-personal.umich.edu/~sarr/ Are you allergic to mold? I had a sore throat for 2 1/2 years. I am not exaggerating I truly had it that long. My doctors thought it was acid reflux, but the sore throat never went away. I spent those 2 1/2 years seeing my family doctor, my allergist, an acid reflux specialist, and even a cardiologist. Finally my allergist redid all my allegy tests and my molds were off the chart. I also found I was allergic to wheat, milk, peanuts and more. So now I am on a mold free diet because mold in/on foods was contributing. She put me on Singulair at night and the first day I took it I woke up without a sort throat. I can't tell you how happy I was to have that sore throat gone. When I am irritated with my other allergies or am exposed to mold it does come back, but at least I finally know what was/is causing it.

Anyone experience similiar symptoms? Almost certainly due to any steroid inhalrs that you might be taking. I have to take ranitidine to stop this same problem that you describe. Interesting as I did not have the esophogus flareup until I started an inhaler and a steroid based nasel spray. It appears to have fried my esophogus. I am on Nexium to calm it down. I have had GERD flareups in the past, but no bad ones for several years. So it seems interesting that the asthma combined with the inhaler/nasel spray did a flareup. Hopefully it is just the meds that casued this. >I had a bout of asthma, and after two weeks of off and on bouts with it, my >lower esophogus got sore. > I have GERD over the years, but this appears to be irritation from the > constant post nasal drip and asthma > issues.
