Effect of Acid Reflux on Respiratory Physiology During Exercise in Athletes With GER-Response to Acid Suppression

Summary

We propose that acid reflux affects respiratory dynamics (breathing) in patients who are exercising and that athletes improve their exercise capacity with acid suppression therapy. It is our intent to determine whether treatment of GER with strong acid suppression may alleviate symptoms, improve exercise capacity, and improve quality of life.
