It's possible.: it is possible to get esophageal spasm from acid reflux. If this is the cause of your spasm, you should note that as you successfully treat the acid reflux, the symptoms of the esophageal spasm get better. You should continue with your reflux medicine and adopt antireflux precautions. If the symptoms attributed to spasm continue, see your doctor.
