LPR reflux and voice

Ive recently been diagnosed with LPR reflux and i am having problems with my voice. Once you get the reflux under control does your voice come back? Its horrible not being able to talk.

You are not alone. I suffered for many years with periodic episodes where I would totally lose my voice due to LPR reflux. My voice would come back, but then I would lose it again. You have to treat the LPR reflux aggressively. I found that the UK version of Gaviscon, which contains alginate as a primary ingredient, was especially helpful. But this was just one of many treatments I used concurrently. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck.

Hi Impala,

If your hoarseness is caused by LPR/reflux, it will respond positively to Nissen surgery. I remember my surgeon commenting on how much better my voice sounded after my surgery.

Good luck in your search for answers!
Take care,
Denise
