I am suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease and stomach pain. But recently I found it difficult to breathe, not eating well, upset stomach, flatulence. So I want to ask the doctor if there is atrophy of the stomach lining?

Hello, gastric mucosal atrophy is often difficult to recognize through clinical symptoms. Gastric mucosal atrophy is usually diagnosed accurately by endoscopy. From the information you do not say whether you have had a colonoscopy or not and if so, how long? If you have had endoscopy for a long time (more than 1 year), you need to have an endoscopy to check the extent of gastric ulcer as well as reflux to get a better approach. You can go to the clinics and hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide to get more advice from doctors.
Thank you for trusting Vinmec. We look forward to meeting with you for more specific advice.
