Acid reflux?: each symptom is typical for uncontrolled acid reflux and starting a ppi is the generally recommended first step. be sure to read the insert to optimize efficacy (eg take it on an empty stomach at least 30min before your first meal). Talk to your doctor to optimize the initial dose. If not effective, a scope may be necessary to search for potential causes other than simple GERD.
