Question
Can I get a medical certificate through an online consultation? I need it to apply for an interstate travel pass. Is this possible?

Chest Pain After Eating _Possible Causes_: 1. _Acid Reflux (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing up into the esophagus can cause chest pain, especially after eating spicy foods. 2. _Gastroesophageal Junction Disorder_: Abnormal relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter can lead to acid reflux and chest pain. 3. _Esophageal Spasm_: Muscle contractions in the esophagus can cause chest pain, especially after eating. _Relief Measures_: 1. _Sleeping Position_: Lying down can help alleviate symptoms, as you've noticed. 2. _Avoid Trigger Foods_: Reduce or avoid spicy, fatty, or acidic foods that can trigger acid reflux. 3. _Antacids or Acid Reducers_: Over-the-counter medications like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac can help neutralize stomach acid.
