Highlights
- •Sleep apnea shares symptoms and risk factors with gastroesophageal reflux
- •A large cohort of patients with suspected sleep disturbances were screened
- •Non-obese sleep apnea patients are not at higher risk of having reflux symptoms
- •Nevertheless, daytime sleepiness correlated with gastroesophageal reflux
- •Gastroesophageal reflux should be ruled out in patients with bad sleep quality
