I have gerd to and I notice I sometimes I have a dry cough and I think you feel full cause maybe you have built up acid and gas. Im not sure but that is my guess
Dry coughs are primarly related to LPR, which is not the same as gerd. It is still associated with acid reflux backing up into the larynx, which causes redness & irritation to the vocal chords and thus, the dry coughs. I was dx'd with LPR 18 months ago, and have since cut off all coffee, chocolate, and tomato products, plus I try not to eat anything after 8:30pm. Plus, I'm on Nexium 40mg / day.
I rarely ever got heartburn, and hardly ever at night, which are signs of LPR. Gerd presents with heartburn, and those that get it also get it bad at night.
