RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ASTHMA AND HEARTBURN

Asthma: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that attacks all age groups, characterized by the recurrent attacks of breathlessness and wheezing, which vary in severity and frequency from person to person. This condition is due to inflammation of the air passages in the lungs.

Heartburn: Heartburn is the condition where the person feels burning pain in the chest, which usually occurs after eating and maybe at night or severe pain when lying down or bending over or Bitter or acidic taste in the mouth. This is due to acid reflux.

There is no strong proof to prove that there is a link between asthma and acid reflux. But some physicians say when the person suffering from both asthma and acid reflux, the situation become worse as explained in the definition when a person had food in the night and sleep the acid flows up into the esophagus and trigger the nerves in the chest that leads to narrowing of the bronchial tubes leads to bronchospasm.

But when we look deep into it, sometimes acid reflux may cause pain in chest and this might be mistaken as the symptoms of asthma.
