Gastroenterologist: Yes, I recommend that you be evaluated and treated by a gastroenterologist. In this manner you will have appropriate testing including test for h. Pylori and probable esophagogastroscopy. . In the meantime avoid alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and other stomach irritants like aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen.
