I had my gallbladder removed 3 weeks ago and I stared having sore throat with heartbur short after. I am taking pantoprazole at the moment for this symptoms. I would to know if acid reflux was triggered by the gallbladder removal because before that I have never suffer from acid reflux and if it is going to get better
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. K and I am pleased to assist you. Gallbladder removal does not lead to acid reflux. Both are different issues. The stress due to surgery could have probably triggered the reflux. You can take medications like omeprazole for relief. I hope that answers your question.
