Hi Josh,

 

The symptoms of acid reflux can vary in each person and the symptoms can come and go as you describe.  Here is some information on GERD symptoms that you may find helpful.  You should continue to follow up with your doctor because the symptoms of heart disease, gall bladder problems, hiatal hernia, etc. are similar to those of reflux and he would be the best resource for determining the cause of your issues.
