GERD: Acid reflux is a separate problem and unfortunately in many cases patients suffering from gallbladder disease suffer from GERD as well and symptoms may be more noticeable now because they might have been attributed to gallbladder problem previously. See your gastroenterologist or surgeon to discuss further . Thank you.

Acid reflux: is a separate problem and you need to see your doctor. Decrease alcohol and caffeine and no smoking, Also the pain comes with exertion it could be cardiac.
