A member asked:

Can gerd cause a short wave of severe pain across chest after eating? particularly after a belch. have been having more reflux past few days.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gerd: Acid reflux can be painful. I would try an over the counter antacid such as Pepcid or zantac (ranitidine). If your symptoms do not go away see your physician.
