I went to my ENT doctor this past Monday b/c I've had a raspy voice since October 2009. It doesn't hurt at all. I do clear my throat more than I ever have, but that's about it. I was told that I have Acid Reflux and I was prescribed Nexium which I have to take for the next 6 weeks. She told me that I have a lesion on my larynx, which was cause by the acid from my stomach. I've been told to avoid all the foods I love to eat/drink. I have never suffered from heart burn, or anything else relating to acid reflux. I never get any side effects from eating spicy or acidic foods. Could acid reflux really cause the hoarseness of my voice?
