Can The Start Of Gerd Be A Result Of Shingles ?
I have had shingles for approx 3 mo. and have also had upset stomach and reflux. I have never had this before the shingles started and was wondering if the GERD could be a result of the shingles.. I still have some stinging around the abdominal area from time to time.. It has improved but now am developing a hoarseness. What can this be attributed to ?
Answer
One more thought - are you taking pain medication or an anti-viral for the shingles? They could definitely be responsible for the reflux.
