I'm experiencing this strange heaviness on the right side of my stomach, especially when I'm walking or running. It's there even when I'm sitting, but not as intense. I know I have a gastric issue with GERD, could it be related to that? I don't drink or smoke, and there's no pain, just this heavy feeling. Strangely, I have no issues on the left side. All my tests, like blood tests and the stomach ultrasound, are normal, they only found GERD with the endoscopy. I'm really stressed out thinking about what this could be. Is it a big deal? Would love some insight.

Symptoms you are experiencing are due to acid reflux from GERD. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. Additionally, you can take an antacid like Tums as needed for immediate relief. It is also important to avoid trigger foods that worsen your symptoms, such as spicy or acidic foods, and to practice stress-reducing activities like deep breathing exercises or yoga. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to follow up with your gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm 28 and I've been struggling with acidity for quite a while now. It's really becoming a constant issue. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? Also, I've been noticing my body temperature stays around 98.5F and one time it went up to 98.7F. Is that something to worry about or is it normal? I measured it with a digital thermometer under my arm, just wondering if that's close to being a fever.
