Are you waking up with a sore throat in the early morning and feeling your voice altered? Although you may not realize the link, early morning sore throat is brought on by the acidic stomach acid that rises during the night into your esophagus and damages the throat.
Over time this can lead to pain and trouble swallowing and the feeling of some thing caught in the throat.
To counteract the nighttime acid reflux you can try sleeping in a more elevated position (use a bigger pillow) and get on an acid reflux diet plan.
