Hi,

Heartburn can lead to nausea, vomiting, bloating, persistent dry cough. A gastroenterologist would be the best person to assess you.

You may want to consider a blood test to assess for H pylori bacteria since the imaging is normal.

H pylori bacteria, if present, can worsen or cause reflux symptoms. If the bacteria is found, then you would need a 10 to 2-week course of 2 antibiotics along with reflux medication.

Consider the use of very mild foods, small portions, no fried or acidic foods along with probiotics, to see if this would help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
