Leading Causes Of Muscle Twitches And Spasms
Acid Reflux

Acid reflux has been associated with specific muscle spasms called esophageal spasms. These spasms cause painful contractions in the esophagus. An esophageal spasm might feel like sudden and severe pain in the chest. The episodes can last anywhere from several minutes to several hours. Most individuals only experience these spasms occasionally, and some might not require treatment. However, if the spasms occur more frequently, they might prevent drink and food from properly moving through the esophagus. If an individual experiences acid reflux symptoms like the return of their food and drink up their throat, they might also be experiencing esophageal spasms.
