President Barack Obama, who had medical tests on Saturday after complaining of a sore throat, is suffering from acid reflux, the president's physician said.
"The president's symptoms are consistent with soft tissue inflammation related to acid reflux and will be treated accordingly," Obama's doctor, Captain Ronny Jackson, said in a statement.
Acid reflux is a condition in which the stomach contents flow back up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing such symptoms as heartburn and sore throat.
Obama, 53, went to Walter Reed military hospital for a fiber optic exam of his throat and since swelling was detected, doctors decided to perform a CT scan as well, Jackson said.

Could be Moochelle has him on her school lunch diet.
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water is good too.
He’s so filled with venom he’s making himself sick.
What comes out of his mouth is pretty hard to swallow...
He gives me acid reflux so turnabout is fair play.
THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!!! I went to work and performed my duties...... I suggest that the cOMMUNIST iN cHIEF do the same. After all, he has better health care than I do... If I can do it.... then SO CAN HE!
I’m surprised it took four postings before the truth be known. LOL
Oh darn... I’m really sorry to hear that...
Probably a certain type of body piercing lodged in this throat.
Oh puhleeeeze....
Crappy food from Mooch, smokin’ and tokin’, all those “fundraisers”.....
That ain’t nothin’ compared to the acid and bile I’ve been dealing with since 2008....sheesh, what a light weight.
Goodness. . .he even makes HIMSELF sick.
The whole country has had acid reflux since his election! He should go talk to his muslin friends, they have a cure for sore throats.
LOL yeah I have a feeling something besides acidy foods caused his little problem
Yes, I agree. The scan is way overkill IMO, unless it’s a very bad case and they are trying to assess total damage.
Thanks Muggs. I’ll keep that in mind. My remedy doesn’t work on everyone, going by what some folks say.
Perhaps yours would work better on them.
I sometimes wonder if they even try it. Sounds too simple.
I recommend that he increase his coffee intake substantially.
I’m sure his internal anal sphincter had nothing to do with that either....
He probably has a hiatal hernia.
