Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus (food pipe), often due to a weak lower esophageal sphincter, obesity, or certain dietary and lifestyle habits. Treatment typically includes lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding trigger foods, maintaining a healthy weight, and elevating the head of the bed while sleeping, along with medications to reduce stomach acid, including antacids, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), or H2 blockers. In severe or persistent cases, surgical options may be considered.

Although irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) primarily affects the intestines, it can sometimes cause overlapping digestive discomfort. Depression can worsen these symptoms by increasing gut sensitivity and disrupting the gut-brain connection, which may affect gut movement and intensify pain. Therefore, a thorough evaluation by a doctor or gastroenterologist is recommended for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

A dry cough lasting several months, especially if it persists despite initial treatment, requires a thorough medical evaluation by a specialist. Common causes include asthma, postnasal drip, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), chronic infections, or other lung conditions. You should consult a pulmonologist for appropriate investigations, such as chest imaging and lung function tests, to determine the underlying cause and start the appropriate treatment.
