Hello doctor! From the past 1 month, I have had the following symptoms: after eating, chest tightness and belching continuously, epigastric pain, stomach boiling continuously at about 10 am and 4 pm. If you ride a motorbike, you will experience heartburn continuously, sore throat when swallowing. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux. But I took medicine but it didn't help. Because of the current epidemic situation, it is not possible to go to the doctor. Ask your doctor to advise you to help you with gastroesophageal reflux, what should you do if you take medicine? I would like to thank the doctor.
