Brief Answer:
acid reflux
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern about GI symptoms.
1) Your symptoms are suggestive of acid reflux in which some amount of acid produced in stomach will reflux back into esophagus.
2) there will be inflammation in oesophagus due to this acid reflux related chemical reaction and this might develop symptoms related to heart burn, nausea, upper abdominal or lower chest discomfort.
3) Sometimes this reflux would be so severe that it can reach upto throat, or mouth. In such conditions, esophagus might have extreme inflammation.
4) Hiatus hernia is most common cause of reflux. In this condition the opening from which esophagus enter into stomach become wide due to which some part of upper portion of stomach will move into chest and this contribute to development of reflux.
5) Though there are other conditions can cause reflux which can be treated with medicines, treatment for hiatus hernia is surgery.
6) You might require upper GI endoscopy with special emphasis to rule out reflux and hiatus hernia.
7) If reflux is present for more than 50% length of esophagus in endoscopy, you have severe symptoms since long time then invasie 24 hr Ph monitoring test is recommended to check extent and severity of reflux.
8) But for reflux, symptomatic treatment with medications is sufficient to control symptoms.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any further doubts, I would be happy to help you.
Have a nice day!

Brief Answer:
symptomatic approach with medications vs cure with surgery
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
1) Functional medication will give you symptomatic relief only till you will take medications. Such severe reflux warrants evaluation to find the cause so that proper treatment can be initiated.
2) Yes, all hiatus hernia does not require surgery. I suggested surgery based on your symptoms severity.
3) Making alkaline and reducing acid in stomach is different matter. Whatever medication you take to alkalise yourself, your stomach juice will be acidic only with Ph of less than 7.

Brief Answer:
Reflux of stomach acid
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Because when you eat, secretion of stomach acid is stimulated to facilitate further digestion.
This stomach acid mix with ingested food and this mixture move ahead in small intestine for further digestion.
IN presence of GERD, small part of stomach acid/mixture of acid with food reflux back into lower esophagus. And this produce symptoms of heartburn, nausea.

Brief Answer:
they are not flux-disease/232326?iL=true" >GERD symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
No none of above mentioned symptoms are related to GERD except feeling of esophageal spasm.
Excess saliva is related to more your habit of talkativeness.
Blister between lips and flu like symptoms might be due to viral infection (Herpes).
Whatever they mentioned about acid stuff, it means to prevent chemical reaction of acid in oesophagus by reducing reflux episodes of GERD.
But your mentioned symptoms in last query are not due to GERD and would recommend to consult physician for flu symptoms + blister on lips.

Brief Answer:
no need for any lab at all.
Detailed Answer:
There is no need for doing any extra lab at all.
For GERD, once endoscopy is sufficient and this you had already. Recent literature suggested role of anxiety on GERD symptoms intensity (Not well proven).
In last query, my concern was towards blister with flu like symptoms. Definitely these are not due to GERD.

Brief Answer:
need endoscopy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I apologize for late reply.
1) From your last follow up, I would recommend to have an upper GI endoscopy based on feeling of suprasternal lump with tickling feeling, occasional esophageal spasms, occasional heartburn.
2) Anxiety might cause symptoms of GERD.
3) If you have lump in suprasternal area and associated tickling sensation then it would not be associated to anxiety.

Seeing that I am getting better with Functional Doctor .....
My Doctor that fixed My Hernia in my Groin and my MD ....
Said keep working with Functional Doctor for 3 months .... If symptoms are still there then work from there .....
I think when my Anxiety gets real High which can be often from OCD .....
That is when everything all symptoms come on strong ....
I have Only been working with Functional Doctor for 2 weeks and things have gotten better .....
I wanted to give you All my Symptoms so you can see All that is happening .... This only started about 8 weeks ago ... Was real bad and now a bit better after seeing Functional Doctor ....
Functional Doctor says on a Scale of 1 - 10 of 10 being the worse ... I am a 2 maybe a 3 and through diet and Functional Supplements he can stop all this without any scopes ... He told me No scopes yet .....
I was giving you everything that has happened ( not at the same time) ...So you could understand what has happened ... The crazy thing is that this didn't slowly work its way up to this point .... It All came to me All at Once .... Its was Crazy ...
Most All Symptoms are a Lot better and some even gone with Functional Doctor now.... The Docs said that i should give this Functional Doctor time ( 3 months ) .... before I try anything else ....
What has me confused is Functional Doctors all told me I wasn't Digesting my for properly because I didn't have enough Acid and the Acid in the gut was not as low as it should be .... And the Conventional Doctors want to give me Medication to take away Acid ....
I also suffer from Bad Tinnitius and PPI's and All the Medications for Any o these issues are Ototoxic and can create permanent ringing of the ears which I already have and if you have it .... It will make it worse .... of which mine id debilitating already and I am not ready for Tinnitus to go Louder and I would want to blow my head off .....
I hope and Pray that Functional Doctor protocol will eliminate All that has gone on and what is going on still at the moment .....

Brief Answer:
Continue with Functional doc.
Detailed Answer:
Well, if you have pain discomfort with pain score of 2 or 3 then I would suggest to continue treatment with functional doc.
You have some confusion about stomach acid.
Stomach acid itself is acidic whether you take any medication or not but it will remain acidic because this is its nature. By taking medications like PPI and other you only control secretion of stomach acid into stomach. Also less production of acid (as seen in severe gastritis) cause improper digestion and responsible for symptoms of bloating, burping, occasional loose stool. But even with these, stomach acid will be towards lower in Ph.

Brief Answer:
throat sore and muscle overwork are different
Detailed Answer:
No, both of these are different.
feeling of muscle overwork in throat is not due to GERD. GERD only cause sore feeling inside your throat due to reflux of acid.
If you are experiencing muscle related issue in throat then it might be due to excessive voluntary burping which strain your neck muscle also but this is very rare.
