I'm dealing with some health issues and I was hoping you could help me out. I've been experiencing acid reflux, dizziness, and headaches, along with some pain in both the left and right sides of my bladder. I also get heartburn and occasionally my right shoulder hurts. What kind of tests should I consider to figure out what's going on?
