Severe level of GERD
I have been suffering from GERD since a year and a half. I am 73kg in weight and 154cm height. I have taken many treatments, but without much improvement. Taken endoscopy as well and the results are fine without any problem. I cough heavily and vomit a lot of mucus throughout the day and especially at night. Short breaths. Unable to exercise or do heavy work. Rapid speaking also leads to coughing. Tooth decay. Voice hoarsness. I cannot eat soicy food and have to eat in small intervals.
