Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for writing, and I understand your concern. Your complaints can be due to increased stomach acid. Since when are you experiencing the symptoms? Did you get any investigations done? Do you have a history of recent respiratory tract infection or COVID 19 infection? Do you have a history of diabetes, hypertension, or fever? Kindly revert with the answers so that I can help you better. Thank you.
