More Medical Defenses to Nashville DUI Breath Test Cases

Posted on October 6, 2010 by Rob McKinney

 

 

Another medical defense to Nashville DUI breath test cases is GERD .GERD is short for Gastroesophogeal reflux disease. It is also known as acid reflux .GERD is caused by a problem with the sphincter muscle between esophagus and the stomach.The person experiences acid refluxing into the esophagus along with whatever is in the stomach like alcohol.Once heartburn occurs , the reflux can get in the mouth which can be detected by the breath test machine.If there is alcohol in the stomach , it can help to cause a false breath alcohol reading.

The bottom line is a complete investigation should include a medical questionnaire on medical issues that will impact your Nashville DUI case.
