Specializes in Internal Medicine

Esophagitis: it is not uncommon. Some of the symptoms like coughing when lying down, recurrent nasal congestion, chest/arm discomfort or sinusitis/ AM frontal headache are not as obvious . Ask if they checked for h pylori and start treatment, avoid caffeine ,alcohol smoking fatty foods ,spicy foods, and start an H2 blocker or PPI per your doctor. f/u w/doc

I caught two stomach viruses two weeks apart. Threw up violently during the second one. Shortly after that I slowly started to develop gerd symptoms. I now have reflux esophagitis, via endoscopy. Is there a connection? I never had problems before?
