HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Gastroesophageal reflux is such disease that mimic cardiopulmonary disease but on examination and investigation this comes negative, if this is pure GERD then this need to be treated with "Tab Omeprazole 40 mg and Tab Domperidone 30 mg once in day for six week, it is advisable to avoid the, coffee, alcohol, smoking, prior to bed, eat more alkali diet like green salad, be stress free, every thing would be fine soon, take care.
