I've been dealing with GERD for the past 2 years and it's really frustrating. Is there any way to cure it permanently without having to go through surgery? I'd love to know what options are out there.

I'm really struggling with some severe issues related to eating, swallowing, and drinking. Every time I swallow anything, it feels like it hits a mass underneath my bra line, and this causes a lot of back pain and discomfort. I had my gallbladder removed four years ago, and I also have a hemangioma growing outside my liver. I'm really worried about these symptoms and looking for some advice on what might be going on. Could this be related to my past surgeries or the hemangioma? What should I do?
To help with swallowing and discomfort, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast to reduce stomach acid and alleviate any reflux symptoms. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (80mg) after meals to help with gas and bloating. It is important to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
