What Are The Signs Of GERD?
My throat seems to clog when running, swimming, etc. I also seem to cough alot to try to clear my throat. another symptom is quite a bit of burping right after i eat. Could this be acid reflex or GERD. It bothers me every day. I work out every day, so i want to figure out just what is going on.
