I've been dealing with GERD for 3 years now and it's really affecting my breathing. I've been on acid medications but they don't seem to help much - the issue keeps coming back and sometimes gets really bad. Are there any surgical options for this or should I stick to medication?

If GERD symptoms like breathing difficulties persist despite medication, surgical options like Nissen fundoplication may be considered. However, a thorough evaluation by a doctor is crucial to determine the best course of action, as factors like the severity of your GERD, potential complications, and individual health factors need to be assessed

I'm a bit worried because every time I take Rekool D, it feels like the capsule gets stuck in my throat. After a while, I start to feel acid rising up into my throat, and its really uncomfortable. Some days I have a normal bowel movement, but other times its a bit mild. This has been going on since April, and I'm unsure what's happening with my body. Could you help me understand what might be going on?
