President Barack Obama was diagnosed with acid reflux following tests at a Washington-area military hospital in response to complaints of a sore throat.
Ronny L. Jackson, the president’s physician, said an examination this morning at the White House found swelling in the back of Obama’s throat. A subsequent CT scan later today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, indicated the cause was acid reflux.
