Can an online doctor treat GERD and heartburn?

Yes. Many cases of GERD, acid reflux, and heartburn can be evaluated via telemedicine. We review your symptoms and history, discuss lifestyle changes, and when appropriate recommend or prescribe medications such as acid reducers.

When is acid reflux or chest discomfort an emergency?

Seek emergency care immediately for chest pain with shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, arm or jaw pain, dizziness, fainting, or if symptoms feel different from your usual heartburn and may suggest a heart attack.
