I never had any "heartburn" but yet had esophagitis. It affected my throat and ability to swallow at times. Was eventualy diagnosed with mild gastroparesis which contributed to the reflux. See a GI person. Good luck.
Hi,
I have a very similar problem to yours. I am/was a singer 4 years ago and gave it up when I started experiencing a sore throat. Gastroenterologist diagnosed that I had GERD ( Reflux Disorder) and had caused a mild esophegheal errosion that was caused through a sliding Hiatus Hernia. My teeth,gums and voice also became affected by the acid reflux.
Watch your diet carefully, cut out fatty foods completely, coffee,chocolates, cigarettes & alcohol a definite NO NO!!
I would advise you to consult a Gastro specialists ASAP -
DO NOT PROLONG THIS AS YOUR CONDITION COULD WORSEN.
Good luck.
