Dr. Colin Sanner answered

Specializes in Neurology

GI hypomotility: These could be symptoms of chronic constipation. Alternatively, if you also get acid reflux, this could represent (diaphragmatic) hiatal hernia. A gastroenterologist (gut doctor) could examine you for these problems and work with you to find a solution.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
