Treatment...: Have you tried treating the GERD to see if your symptoms improve? Try an over the counter anti reflux med that your doctor or pharmacist can recommend. Avoid very acidic or very fatty foods, don't eat within 2 hours of laying flat, keep the head of the bed raised, etc. Have you seen a GI doctor? I'm sure a GI doc can also help with a trial of therapy to see if your symptoms improve. Good luck!!
