GERD can cause pulmonary symptoms mostly due to aspiration of stomach contents into the lungs.
When GERD is present, patients are prone to chest pain, epigastric pain, and belching, among many other symptoms. If the patient is not treated in time, it may lead to aspiration of stomach contents into the lungs. The substance will cause irritation to the lung mucosa, causing the patient to cough, obstructed breathing and other pulmonary symptoms, and in severe cases, it may also cause esophageal erosion, asthma, interstitial pneumonia and other complications.
It is recommended that patients go to a professional hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor for the cause of the standardized treatment.
