I've been having acid reflux in my stomach lately and it gets worse when I eat or lie down to sleep. Could this be related to gallstones? Do I need to consider surgery for this?

Yes, gallstones can sometimes be linked to acid reflux, especially if they cause inflammation of the gallbladder. The presence of gallstones can lead to a buildup of bile in the stomach, increasing pressure and potentially stimulating acid production, which can contribute to acid reflux symptoms. However, acid reflux can also have other causes, such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), certain foods, or being overweight.
