I was just diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease last week and I'm dealing with this burning pain on the left side of my back around the breastbone and I'm also having shortness of breath. The doctor said it's GERD and I'm on medication, which is helping, but I'm still facing this breathing issue. Every 10 minutes or so, I feel like I need to take a deep breath or else there's this pressure and tightness in my chest. My blood tests came back normal with an HB of 13. Why do I feel like taking a deep breath every 10 minutes? Could you suggest any breathing exercises or regular exercises that might help with this?

View allI'm really concerned because I have to pass stool at least 6 times a day. It's not like I'm having loose motions or anything, but every time I feel stuffed, I get this intense urge to go. It's getting really frustrating and I just want it to stop. Ideally, going twice a day would feel a lot more normal. Can you offer any advice on what might be going on or how I could address it?
-It sounds really frustrating to have to go so often, especially when it's not loose stools. It could be helpful to try adjusting your diet to reduce bloating or constipation, and consider seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying digestive issues. Manag

I'm going through a tough time dealing with GERD for the past three years, and I've been on Razo D daily. Whenever it gets worse, I pop a few Ulgel A. I'm starting to worry if it's okay to keep using them over the long haul. Are Razo D and Ulgel A safe to use like this for a long period?
