Can acid reflux affect your sinuses and cause headaches?

Answer

Thanks for your question. Sinus effects and headaches are not on this list of acid reflux symptoms. However, this study from the Medical College of Wisconsin (published in 2000) suggests such a link between the two. You may find this post and response between a GERD patient and an expert on the matter to be helpful.
