Quick takeaways

  • Silent reflux can cause difficulty breathing and air hunger, and natural remedies like chlorophyll and wheatgrass juice powder can help soothe and heal the tissues.

Deep dives

Silent reflux and its impact on breathing

Silent reflux, a condition where acid regurgitates up the esophagus without heartburn, can lead to difficulty breathing and air hunger. The sensory nerves in the esophagus send signals to the brain that trigger feelings of insufficient oxygen, causing increased breathing, gasping for air, and excessive yawning. However, excessive breathing does not necessarily improve oxygen intake as a proper balance of CO2 is required for oxygen absorption by red blood cells. Treating silent reflux can involve medication to heal the esophagus or using chlorophyll or wheatgrass juice powder to soothe and heal the tissues.
