Hit from back in car accident. Is it possible for neck/esophageal muscles to be weakened causing acid reflux?

Question

What kind of doctor can confirm this?

I think this is why i suddenly have persistent heart burn mostly after I eat and when I wake up in the morn.

Answer 1

i guess i wouldnt wanna say thats its impossible.....but reflux is such a common condition i definiatley dont think it would b easy to prove that something else caused this....it may in fact just be your diet/lifestyle...also it may have not been the accident itself but even the stress of the accident what has caused it as stress is also a factor in reflux

Answer 2

It is highly unlikely the accident caused the accident and the reflux, if that is what you are experiencing, is caused by acid passing into the gullet. The site mentioned below gives information on the causes and treatment. This is an unpleasant symptom of an underlying problem and you would be best consulting your G.P.

Good luck.

Answer 3

not necessarily but you should see a gastroenterologist - raise the head of the bed about 3-4 inches and take a glass of cold milk last thing before going to bed .Get a CT/MRI scan done of the abdominal area to check if there is any problem due to the accident.
