Postural Gastro-Esophageal Reflux With Delayed Gastric Emptying
2001
Gastro-esophageal motility and reflux disorders present with a wide variety of symptoms however most patients have one or a combination of dyspepsia, fullness, bloating, chest pain or regurgitation. The symptoms most likely relate to a combination of gastric content reflux and abnormal gastroesophageal motility. The assessment of gastro-esophageal motility now form an integral part of patient management along with endoscopy in those not responsive to acid reducing therapy. There is a growing body of evidence linking abnormal gastric motility and postural effects in the etiology of gastro-esophageal reflux disorder (GERD)(1).
