Studies show that when acid reflux moves up the esophagus from the stomach that the acids can come as far up as the throat. This causes irritation and can trigger an Asthma attack. In addition to raising the head of the bed, the person should take some type of acid reducer, such as the medication Prilosec.

Can omeprazole be used for asthma?
Omeprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as the proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs). These are used to prevent problems that occur due to the acid in the stomach. Around 40-60% of people with asthma also have a condition known as gastro-oesophagael reflux where acid from your stomach flows back up into your oesophagus. this can trigger asthma symptoms. the rationale behind the use of a PPI in asthma is that this acid reflux will be prevented to stop an asthma attack happening. Studies have shown that 40mg of omeprazole may increase the capacity of the lung to work, but does not improve asthma symptoms or reduce the need for other asthma medication.
