Case studies show that around 60A% to 80% asthma patients also experience the symptoms of acid reflux. There is a deep connection between acid reflux and asthma. The patients of asthma do not necessarily suffer from acid reflux problem, but there will be a group of people who show higher possibility of experiencing the problem. It means that acid reflux may not come hand in hand, but when there is asthma problem, acid reflux is likely to exist.

One symptom of acid reflux is that it can cause short breath or even affect the respiratory system. The problem causes coughing, wheezing and also affects the patient's breathing. It can cause heartburn that leads to create pressure on the chest, resulting to asthma. One thing that is still unclear is how can acid reflux and asthma occur at same time or are co-related. The closest explanation on this can show that there is some connection between the two.

Several experiments are done where gastric fluid or stomach acid is injected to the esophagus of asthma patients. Even when the same experiment is done on mice, it also shows signs of difficulty in breathing. This experiment shows that the relation between acid reflux and asthma could be the reaction of esophagus towards stomach acid.

Another reason could be that a drug caused acid reflux and the asthma problem emerges due to the reaction of body towards the medicine. Although, no evidence has yet been given for such observation, and it does not happen with everybody taking the medicine.

If you are worried about acid reflux and asthma, it is better to seek for some professional advice from a physician or a doctor who understands the disease well. Always remember that making your own move by following a personal remedy can create more complications.
