Your symptoms are suggestive of hyperacidity causing GERD which has led to the brown sputum most likely. You may require antacids to control your situation. The following steps may help: - Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better. - Reduce/ Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food - Avoid/ Limit drinking coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to once a day - Exercise regularly (30-45mins of cardio exercises) - Increase daily intake of water to 3 liters - Reduce stress through methods such as yoga/meditation. - Avoid painkillers as it will increase your gastric problems at this moment. If the problem persists or worsens visit the ER at the earliest.
