Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read carefully all your concerns and I understood your query.
You are reporting to have heart burn, regurgitation, stomach ache, cough after eating, nausea and fatigue.
You symptoms seems to be typical for GERD ( acid reflux) or stomach issues like ulcer, gastritis.
This is why strongly recommend doing:
- upper endoscopy
-manometry and 12h Ph monitoring
- abdominal ultrasound
With regards to stress it can cause acid reflux, stomach ache and aggravate your symptoms. On the other hand GERD (acid reflux) can cause / or aggravate anxiety and stress.
Moreover, I would like to suggest dong the following measures to relieve your symptoms:
- Eat often and in small portions
- Eat a healthy diet reach in vegetables and fresh fruits, poor in fats and diary products
- Avoid coffe, chocolate, alcohol and spicy food
- Avoid unnecessary stress
- Increase physical and recreational activities
- Avoid laying down directly after the meals (wait at least 3 hour before going to bed)
- Use 2-3 pillows when you lay down to bed
- Use Prilosec OTC 2 times per day
- Use antacids (Gaviscon OTC) 3-4 times per day.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!

Hi back xxxxxxxx
GERD can cause inflammation on throat.Swollen lymhp nodes as a response to this inflammation.
Cough after eating is typical for GERD and especially for LPR( laryngeal- pharyngeal reflux).
With regards to weight lose it is not typical for GERD, but it can be due to stress and reduced food intake.
Otherwise examinations that I mentioned above will determine if it is something serious in abdominal area and stomach.
Wish you all the best!
