Hey. I’m a singer, and I’m getting worried because recently, my range has been deteriorating and I don’t know why. But recently I’ve figured that I may have acid reflux.

I have been waking up with a throat so soar I can barely speak. Every morning, without fail, this has been happening. Also, I notice that my tongue gets a little white and foamy sometimes. In addition, sometimes it will randomly feel like there’s a fiery volcano erupting in my throat.

Singing-wise, my belting range has been stomped on and crushed. I used to be able to belt up to a G4 and now I struggle on/past D4. Whatever this is needs to go away NOW.

My first question is, does this mean I have acid reflux / GERD?

My second question is for singers: If you are a singer who has had acid reflux problems, where you able to overcome them or were your chords permanently damaged?

Third question: Besides antibiotics, are there any household remedies for acid reflux I should try? If I have it?

Thanks.
