I weigh 148 and 5'3 (i gained this weight all last year due to lifestyle) almost all weight since in abdomen, could that be why my gerd is so bad???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GERD: This may be a partial explanation, but better to be checked and make certain you have not gotten Helicobacter pylori infection and/or a large hiatus hernia or some other problem. See a gastroenterologist. Best wishes.
