Ask
Hello doctor,
I am currently having symptoms of acid reflux. Whenever I eat, I feel chest pain, sometimes I feel like something is blocking my chest, I have to burp continuously or I feel very uncomfortable. So the doctor let me ask if the chest pain with tightness in the chest is gastroesophageal reflux? Currently, I am an F0 who has to be isolated at home and cannot go to the doctor. Please help me to prevent it, thank you.
