Question

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with burping problems for the last six months, and now I've started to experience yawning and shortness of breath. It's pretty concerning, and on top of that, I get heartburn too. What could be causing all these symptoms?

You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend trying over-the-counter medication such as Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to help reduce stomach acid production and alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) as needed for the burping. If your symptoms persist, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
