Silent reflux is vastly different from heartburn, reflux or GERD, but its root cause is the same, which is important to realize.

Silent reflux is also known as LPR, laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), which basically means that acid is flowing up from your stomach to your larynx or voice box.

It can caause the following symptoms:
- difficulty swallowing
- bad taste in your mouth, especially in the morning
- irritation to your vocal cords, affecting your speaking or singing voice
- trouble swallowing
- choking sensation
- increased phlegm

Treatment from conventional doctors involving eliminating a lot of your favorite foods and taking an antacid or PPI daily.

This does not address the root cause, which is a compression of your stomach. It's not difficult to get to the root cause of why the stomach is compressed and resolve the issue for good, eliminating the need for medication and highly restricted diets.
