Brief Answer:
My impression is gerd
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your response.
I feel that the information is suggestive of GERD.
As such I would not have recommended the inhaler.
I don't think it is asthma.
However, since I can't examine you I suggest doing a endoscopy before stopping any medicines.
