10 Causes of Acid Reflux
Cause #4: High Serum Calcium
High levels of calcium in the serum is also known as hypercalcemia. While those with a mild increase have little to no symptoms, greater levels may cause symptoms such as weakness, depression, kidney stones, bone pain, abdominal pain, abnormal heart rhythm, and acid reflux.
Most cases of hypercalcemia are due to cancer and hyperparathyroidism. Other possible causes include tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, vitamin D toxicity, multiple endocrine neoplasia, side effect of medications, and more.
