The amount of mass psychosis happening from it is insane especially on tiktok.

(I didn't know what flair so I just put "Experience")

About 2 years ago  I started experiencing acid reflux-like symptoms. My throat burned, there was a weird taste in my mouth, my teeth hurt like crazy and it felt like there was liquid coming back up from my throat. If I drank a load of water the symptoms would somewhat be relieved for a few minutes before I would feel something like stuff was coming back up. All these symptoms were constant 24 7 and eating or not eating or head position or any of that other stuff made very little differene. First we tried pantaprazole which actually worked for a week but then the symptoms started again and higher doses gave me a really bad dry throat. And then the antacids which the very first time I took it I felt a sensation where it felt like I could feel some nerve traveling from the bottom of my stomach to the top of my throat, then it was instantly gone and the antacids also stopped working. More stuff happened that I forget presently and eventually my acid reflux went away (or I could not notice it anymore at least).

But a few months ago it started coming back (I also experienced a lot of other symptoms that could be related but that's for another time). My PCP gave me a referral to see a GI which after a couple mishaps with faxxing the referral I finally got an appointment setup and they gave me the option between a PA or a few days later with a doctor and I chose the PA. They schedule me for an upper endoscopy and some other blood/fecal tests which all came back negative. I assumed then that on the follow up appointment we'd discuss some more possible tests to do which I even brought up but after explaining all the test results she just went "well nothing more to do idk change your diet and take some antiacids (both things I already tried and changed nothing) and that was the end of the appointment.
Does that sound normal or did I get a bad PA? RIP my teeth (which already look a bit eroded) and half my sanity (although I'm suffering from some other pain too so it all blurs together).
