FAQ About Annual Physical Exam

What is the difference between acid reflux and GERD?

Occasional acid reflux is normal, but GERD is diagnosed when symptoms occur frequently (twice a week or more) and affect quality of life. CoreMed Plus helps determine if you have GERD.

Can GERD be cured permanently?

While GERD is often a chronic condition, many patients achieve excellent long-term control or even remission through lifestyle changes and proper treatment at CoreMed Plus. In some cases, surgery may be considered.

What foods should I avoid with GERD?

Common triggers include spicy foods, fatty or fried foods, chocolate, caffeine, citrus, tomato-based products, onions, garlic, and alcohol. CoreMed Plus helps you create a personalized trigger-free diet plan.

Are PPIs safe for long-term use?

Proton pump inhibitors are very effective but require monitoring. CoreMed Plus carefully manages PPI therapy and explores the lowest effective dose or alternatives when appropriate.

Can losing weight help GERD symptoms?

Yes — even modest weight loss can significantly reduce pressure on the stomach and improve GERD symptoms. Our team provides practical weight management support.

When should I see a doctor for heartburn?

See a doctor if you have frequent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, vomiting blood, or black stools. CoreMed Plus offers prompt evaluation.
