7. Coughing

Acid reflux can trigger several respiratory symptoms, like coughing and wheezing. This may be caused by stomach acid entering the back of the throat and triggering the cough reflex. This symptom is quite persistent during the daytime and is not accompanied by signs of postnasal drip. The body naturally tries to get rid of the refluxed stomach contents by coughing. Contact a doctor for an esophageal pH test for breathing problems related to acid reflux.
