General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I think you have to meet your family doctor and discuss with him or her about your complaints in details.

However, in order to find out the underlying cause for your acid reflux, your doctor might ask you to do blood test, stool test and breath test to rule out H.pylori infection and also you may need to do Upper GI / Endoscopy for further informative details that your doctor may need to find out the underlying cause for your reflux.

I strongly advice you again to discuss with your family doctor about your complaints since he or she knows your family history and previous history of diseases.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Dinesh Nuwan Weerasinghe
