Obama Visits Hospital, Diagnosed With Acid Reflux

President Barack Obama reportedly visited a local hospital in Washington, D.C. this past weekend after complaining of a sore throat, to find out from his physician that he suffers from acid reflux.

The president reportedly visited Walter Reed military hospital where he underwent a series of tests from his physician, Captain Ronny Jackson after complaining of a sore throat.

Captain Jackson reported that the president is suffering from acid reflux that is irritating his throat and causing the soft tissue to be damaged.

"The president's symptoms are consistent with soft tissue inflammation related to acid reflux and will be treated accordingly," Captain Jackson said in his statement.

The physician added that a CT scan was ordered for the president, and the results came back normal. "The CT scan was conducted this afternoon purely as a matter of convenience for the President's schedule. The CT scan was normal."

An annual medical exam conducted in May found the President to be in good health, with a report from the exam stating that the Commander-in-Chief "eats a healthy diet, exercises daily, remains tobacco free, and only drinks alcohol occasionally and in moderation." The president is a former smoker.

The president had reportedly been suffering from the sore throat symptom for the "past couple of weeks" before deciding to see the ear nose and throat specialist. The press release from Captain Jackson also states that the acid reflux will most likely go away with a change in lifestyle and the use of medicines.
