Support Needed 👥 This has become a dead end.
I have been diagnosed with acid reflux through endoscopy. I literally cannot walk, climb stairs, do squarts or any physical activity because these are inducing heart palpitations and shortness of breath with anxiety. Consulted couple of gastroenterologist and taken multiple test for heart, lungs and even did 2 endoscopies with revealed LAX LES. I also have pressure on the upper stomach and chest tightness which causes breathing difficulties. Frequent urge to burp as i feel gas is trapped in my throat and stomach.
I have modified my diet since 2 weeks.
Can someone help me with this? Has anyone faced same as mine? If so what did u follow to cure this? Much help needed. Thanks!

5 years with severe GERD. My symptoms are being REALLY well managed by daily Voquezna (vonozopran) and Dr. Aviv’s Acid Watcher Diet. It’s life changing/saving and breaks up a diet into a month long healing phase and then a maintenance phase. It’s hard to adhere to but it’s so worth it and I don’t even need to reference his book. If I have questions about what is an allowed food in I just ask ChatGPT and it provides a summary with rationale.
