I'm having a tough time with acidity. I've been dealing with a burning sensation in my upper stomach and it often makes me feel breathless. Sometimes I even have to catch my breath, and I've noticed this happening for about 6 years now. There's occasionally a wheezing sound and I often feel bloated too. Could all these symptoms be connected and what should I do about it?

I've been dealing with constant pain around my chest ribs and lower stomach for the past 15 days. On top of that, my throat hurts, and swallowing food and liquids is difficult. What could be causing all this? Should I be worried, or is there something I can do about it?

I've been dealing with GERD for the past two years and nothing seems to help medications or lifestyle changes. I'm only 29 and looking into less invasive surgery options. The LYNX procedure sounds promising for controlling GERD, but I'm not sure if it's available in India. If not, which other countries offer this treatment?

In summary ,the LINX procedure is a surgical procedure for the treatment of GERD that uses a magnetic device to strengthen the LES and prevent the reflux.It is a minimal invasive procedure with faster recovery.Yes the procedure is available in india.
