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.

Good. Give him those Alzheimer’s causing acid reflux pills.
Prilosec is crap! It will only make underlying condition worse. On second thought....
It is actually caused by too little stomach acid.
Acid reflux?!
How about BS reflux. With all of his lies, that’s more believable for Traitorobama.
You win!
He eats crap, drinks too much hard alcohol and smokes cigarettes and probably dope - no shit he’s unhealthy. Now ask me if I care. . .
Well when you talk out of your ass as long he has this type of thing is bound to happen...
Good, he gives me indigestion too.”
My thoughts exactly. My mom always told me to be careful of my words because someday I may have to eat them! Perhaps BO’s mom should have told him the same thing also.
A spoon of sugar in warm water will do the same thing.
Maybe Moochie is forcing him to eat the food she forces on the kids and he is barfing it all up.
i think he might have rabies.
they need to treat him for rabies
Probably Reggie backing-up.
“The whole country has had acid reflux since his election!”
You beat me to it!
The docs are probably doing it as a precaution. If it’s more than that, they are looking for obstructions which could indicate cancer.
If you could have the best doctors give you thousands of dollars of tests and not pay a dime for it, just for kicks and giggles, wouldn't you spend an afternoon doing it?
Me either.
The wonders of Obamacare... If you have acid reflux, you can keep your acid reflux...
Of course 50cents of good old fashioned baking soda would solve that... But, whatever
Stopping smoking would be a good idea, too.
Yep, one of my army buddies was discharged because of acid reflux related throat cancer.
***One teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate***
I keep a box by the bed. I also brush my teeth with it. The only time I have a problem with reflux is when I eat too late or too much.
... If you have acid reflux, you can keep your acid reflux...
