Research Notes on Sinus Problems and Acid Reflux


Acid reflux also known as GERD can reflux up the esophagus and damage structures. This can result in health conditions such as sinus infections. A history of clearing the throat, morning hoarseness, and bad breath could be signs that the acid reflux conditions have extended beyond the esophagus.1

Fast Facts:

  • Acid reflux in the pharynx plays a role in sinusitis.1
  • People with GERD are less likely to get sinus relief after surgery.1
  • Acid reflux can inflame the nasal mucous, which blocks the sinuses.1
