Laboratory Service Providers > What is Acid Reflux Cough?
Acid reflux is a long recognized cause of cough. In fact, it is among the top three causes of chronic cough. Heartburn is not at all a prerequisite to having acid reflux cough. Indeed, heartburn or sour burps are uncommon in patients with acid reflux cough. Only a tiny amount of acid needs to get into your airway to cause cough. And that is generally not enough acid reflux to cause heartburn. But it is enough acid to be recognised by Aeriflux™. If you have emphysema or asthma causing some of your respiratory symptoms, then it is even more likely that you have acid reflux cough, too. The asthma and COPD medicines you take will not be helpful for the acid reflux part of your cough. When gastric acid comes up high in the esophagus, it is likely to trickle over onto your vocal cords and down into your lower airway, causing cough and injury. Aeriflux™ identifies this acid reflux - simply, easily, and painlessly. You don’t need to have wires placed down your nose for 24 hours. You don’t need to try yet another medicine to “see if it works”. Aeriflux™ just asks you to breathe and then gives your doctor the answer. Aeriflux™ is an test for acid that is performed on samples of your breath, and collected in your home. It is as simple as breathing. And we believe it is the most effective method for identifying acid reflux cough. With an accurate diagnosis, the correct therapy can be prescribed with confidence, and unnecessary medications can be stopped. Money can be saved, and you can feel better sooner. Aeriflux™
will help you and your doctor get the answers to your cough.
