Frequent Acid reflux and weakness
I was diagnosed with GERD in 2023 and I've been feeling low, weak and depressed for 1 week. Prior to that, I was on a meat heavy diet for 1 week which has exacerbated the acidity problem this week. I've been facing frequent Acid reflux, shallow breathing, weakness and tiredness since last week. So much so that even the thought of leaving home gives me anxiety and fear. What should be the course of treatment.

To manage GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), make lifestyle changes like eating smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding trigger foods such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, and spicy or fatty foods, losing weight if needed, elevating the head of your bed, quitting smoking, and reducing stress, while also considering over-the-counter or prescription medications like antacids or proton pump inhibitors as recommended by your healthcare provider.
