Is it possible to permanently cure GERD chest pain without surgery or is medication the only option I really want to understand if there's a long-term solution for this

While a full cure without surgery for GERD and its associated chest pain is possible for some individuals, it's not a guaranteed outcome for everyone. Lifestyle changes and medications are often the first-line treatments, but surgery can be a long-term solution for some

I've been having this burning sensation around my rectum for a few days now, and I'm a bit worried. My meals have been pretty spicy lately, so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it.
