Does Acid Reflux Cause Headaches?

Some studies have found that acid reflux may lead to headaches. In general, this condition happens when acid in the stomach moves between the esophagus and the stomach. As the acid reaches your esophagus, it leads to a burning sensation or irritation. This buildup of acids would even go further to the eustachian tubes in the throat, which are connected to the inner ear. Since your ears play an important part in balance, a disruption to the pressure in the ear caused by stomach acid, would lead to dizziness and headaches. [3]
