A doctor has provided 1 answer
GERD: These may be the symptoms of GERD. The medication dosage may need to be adjusted, or an additional medication provided. H pylori and an ulcer should be ruled out with additional testing. Avoid spicy foods, eating while lying down, eating less than two hours prior to bedtime.
