What would cause a constant "cough" sensation, accompanied by frequent burping, some sensations of "difficulty swallowing", fatigue, powdery/murky/fragmented inconsistent bowel movements, a white/yellow coated tongue, sinus symptoms, bad breath that only I can smell (worse in the morning), and heart palpitations, all of which started after trying Gin for the first time in the form of half a bottle?

The symptoms have lasted 2 months (since June 6th).

Do not presume or guess any type of "acid reflux/"GERD"/"LPR". I have tried tons of PPI's and Antacids from the doctor with no relief, thus it is not an acid problem. Endoscopy was negative showing only a small 3-4 cm sliding hiatal hernia. Symptoms were sudden, so hernia is believed to be benign and very small (not causing my problems).

Allergies were ruled out, along with any lung abnormalities.

EKG/Barium Swallow/Spirometer & Flow meter test/Chest X-Rays/Blood work/Liver & Gallbladder ultrasound with no findings.

(Stats: 21, male, 6'2, 222 pounds).

Ph of 5.8 (acidic)

A pulse of 91 beats per minute

Good blood pressure and zinc levels

Low overall cholesterol, 125

High triglycerides (TG's) 137

Very low good cholesterol (HDL) 36

Very low calcium 150

Low bad cholesterol (LDL) which is a good thing, 61

A bit high in the glucose at 98 when the range is 80-95 and found my TC : HDL to be 3.4

Body fat percentage 24.7%


Any help would be appreciated
