Confusion about diagnosis

2022-12-25 12:08:52
My general physician diagnosed me with acid reflux on investigation of my symptoms, 4 days ago. I had mild chest discomfort along with increased frequency of events of belching, gurgling in stomach and chest, gas at the start (about 15 days ago). I did a cardiac screening (ECG, Echo, Lipid, HbA1c, TMT) which came negative. Now the chest discomfort and frequent belching has almost stopped, but gurgling persists and newer symptoms of diarrhoea has come up, along with occasional muscle spasms (1-2 times a day) anywhere in the body. Are these suggestive of acid reflux? If not, what next steps should I pursue?
