What Causes Acid Reflux?

Hi I have had an ongoing problem of a lump in my throat above my sternum for 3 years on and off. The doctor and specialist say acid reflux but I beg to differ. The symptoms get worse after I lift weights the feeling is so uncomfortable it causes a gagging As well

Acid reflux can make you feel very sick due to chronic damage to the mucosal walls of the esophagus. It can create the feeling of lump in the throat .It is advisable to take antiacids and sleep with your trunk over the chest.
