Hi,
GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, is a chronic condition that can cause symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing. H. pylori infection is a common cause of GERD, and treatment with antibiotics can help to eliminate the bacteria and improve symptoms.
Internal body heat and breathing difficulties are not typical symptoms of GERD and may indicate the presence of other underlying medical conditions. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of these symptoms and receive appropriate treatment.
The decision to discontinue antibiotics should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, who can evaluate the progress of treatment and determine the most appropriate course of action. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment plan and complete the full course of antibiotics if they are indicated, as incomplete treatment can lead to antibiotic resistance and other complications.
In addition to medical treatment, lifestyle modifications such as weight loss, dietary changes, and stress reduction may also help manage GERD symptoms. It is important to discuss any concerns or questions about GERD management with your healthcare provider, who can guide the most effective treatment options for your specific needs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
