I'm experiencing a lot of burping and I seem to get short of breath. When I take an antacid and the gas goes away, my breathlessness seems to improve. Could GERD or the excessive burping be causing this breathlessness? It's a bit worrying, and I'd love to understand what's going on.

My mom is 51 and has been dealing with acidity issues. Her recent endoscopy showed bile reflux. Can this be treated with medications or does she need surgery?

Bile reflux is usually treated with medications and, in some cases, surgery. While lifestyle changes and antacids can help with acid reflux, they are less effective for bile reflux.
