What Could Acid Reflux With Heaviness In Lungs Suggest?

I WAS ALREADY DIAGNOSSED WITH ACID REFLUX. I HAVE BEEN ON DEXILENT FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND I FEEL TOTALLY BETTER. MY PROBLEM IS THAT MY LUNGS DON'T FEEL HEALTHY. THEY FEEL HEAVY. WHEN I TAKE A DEEP BREATH OUT I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO COUGH. MY THROAT HURTS ME WHEN I TOUCH IT ON THE OUTSIDE. IT IS VERY TENDER. I WENT TO AN ENT AND HE SAID THAT EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE, WHAT ELSE CAN BE WRONG WITH MY LUNGS THAT CAN GO WRONG. THANK YOU

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are had acid reflux. Chronic acid reflux can cause bronchitis. Bronchitis can be the cause for Heaviness in lungs.
So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
If PFT is normal then no need to worry for bronchitis or other lung disease.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
