Cold/Flu or GERD?
I've had 3 apparent colds/flu that have lasted most of the past 2 months. I think they may have been GERD instead, as I am a long sufferer, but I can't tell.
Has anyone else had a fever with GERD? My fever ranged from 99.5 to 101 degrees. Each time I got sick I had strong GERD symptoms before. The third time, the cold-like symptoms were sudden: within a few hours I started sneezing, nose running really intensely, etc. In the past when I've had sinusitis from GERD, it came on more slowly and less running nose.
However, it persists long after a normal cold would. I've got the standard sore throat, congestion, acid taste in my mouth and feeling throughout, cough, etc. that I have grown to associate with GERD. I haven't had a normal day in what feels like forever.
Any thoughts?
