Is It Possible to Have GERD and LPR At the Same Time?
Both LPR and GERD may occur at the same time. In fact, many scientists and health experts believe that LPR is just a sign of GERD. On the other hand, others claim that it may be simpler to manage both conditions if they are treated as separate diseases. Keep in mind that LPR and GERD do not always happen simultaneously. Certain individuals would experience GERD without any signs of LPR. Similarly, it is also possible to have LPR without experience heartburn. In general, LPR does not cause gastric acid to flow into the esophagus and larynx. [3]
