Hi Geoff,
Symptoms of Acid Reflux can mimic symptoms of more serious conditions such as cardiac and respiratory issues. The best thing to do is to make an appointment with your doctor for a check up. In the meantime, here are some links to information that you can look through. There may be something here that will help you ask all the right questions.
You can read about GERD here in the overview and you can check your symptoms here in the symptoms database. Once you have seen your doctor, if he prescribes medication for GERD, you can read about them here in the drugs database. You can also research treatments available and alternatives here in the treatments database.
Take care and stay in touch! Let us know how you are doing!
