A member asked:
I'm wondering what effect does stress have on acid reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: Stress can affect all systems of your body and can cause some malfunction. Acid reflux is more of a mechanical problem caused by a weak muscle in the esophagus...So it mostly runs in families and is a chronic condition which requires long term antacid use for treatment.
