Thread Name: Help! Losing my lower register!
Subject: RE: Help! Losing my lower register!
You may be as surprised as I was to discover that acid reflux (even if you think you never or rarely have heart burn) WILL cause loss of your lwer register ... it will actually "soften" your voice ... make your voice tire more easily ...

I went to the voice Doc with your very same complaint. He examined me, spent some time with me ... and when he told me to take a prescription medicine for acid reflux, I thought he was crazy. But he was right! He also made some other adjustments; no late night meals or snacks and he had me place a four inch block under each bed post at the head of the bed - raising up my head.

They all worked. My voice is as strong as it was 20 years ago.

By the way - I never noticed I had heart burn ...
