Could GERD and IBS be causing my trouble swallowing?

I have a medical diagnosis for everything I’ve listed but GERD and recently developed the suspicion that I could have it along with IBS due to the severity and prevalence of my acid reflux, and I’ve also made the connection that maybe it could be contributing to the trouble swallowing I’ve noticed beginning to develop in recent years? 🤔🧐

definitely likely to be related to the issues swallowing, in my case i stopped being able to take my pills until i was on an antacid

pretty common to have both in people with HSDs as well (and ive noticed that many with HSDs have mood disorders and are trans), you might try and screen yourself with the beighton scale, i think the general threshold is 5/9. youd get best results out of seeing a doctor but it can be an indicator and a topic starter with the doctor at least
