GERD can cause irritation to your vocal chords, but you need to see an ENT and have him scope your
chords. When he scoped my
chords they were fine, even though I did have GERD. I had a biopsy, they still could not tell if it was cancer. I am a singer, so hoarseness was not good, so I had 1/2 removed. Turned out I did have cancer, so I had a TT, then RAI. Don't ignore it, see an ENT.
