Suggest remedy for severe acid reflux with difficulty breathing
Patient: My heart rate is normally 95 - 100 bpm. Lately it has been running around 65 to 85 bpm. I have had severe acid reflux. In fact all I have to do is burp or lay down and stomach contents, be it acid or food, come up into my mouth. Tonight around 4 am, I woke up and its hard to breath.
