Acid reflux: Symptoms could be from your acid reflux also. Follow up with your healthcare worker soon.

With: asthma, originally it may be a cough, later is a wheeze that traps air on exhale. Reflux burns, may affect vocal cords, it burns behind sternum. Bloating may be a gastric issue, rec. see gastroenterologist.
