How Can Pressure In The Chest And Weakness In The Legs Be Treated?

My doctor believes I have symptoms of acid reflux or GERD. He prescribed Prilosec OCD about a week ago. My cough is gone, my throat does not feel like I have a lump in it anymore, and the muscles in my neck are not tight. I still feel some pressure in my chest and some weakness in my legs. Should I reschedule with him about these remaining symptoms or wait until the month ends to go back for a recheck?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
If you have such symptoms. Then, you should go for a upper GI endoscopy to rule out any gastric or esophageal cause. Meanwhile take cap esomeprazole once daily before breakfast. And there is no relation of GERD and weakness in legs. Both are different symptoms and to be sorted out differently.
