Hello Mr XXXX
Welcome to XXXXXXX care magic, I had gone through your question very diligently and I really appreciate your concern.
Since your all the investigation and blood tests are normal which rules out any major disease so you need not to worry.
At the outset I would like further information for better assessment of the condition like
Your age and relevant medical history
Do you have family history of similar complaints
have you noticed any aggravating or rrelieving factor to such symptoms?
If possible upload me all the investigation reports
Meanwhile I would advise to take anti acidity medicine like pantoprazole or ranitidine group of drugs with antacids in order to control GERD.
Apart from medicines I would advise you for certain life style modifications
Avoid overeating, have small and frequent meals
Avoid smoking and alcohol
Don't lie down immediately after taking food
Avoid fatty fried and spicy food and have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Please write back to me with these details so that I will be able to tell you more precisely.
waiting for your reply
Best wishes
