How To Treat Esophageal Problem?
I have been seeing a doctor for what is described as esophiogal problems. He is treating me with dexlansoprazole twice per day. However, I now have constant burping, distended stomach, and a feeling of fullness which decreses my appittite. I am worried that I have stomach cancer
