Someone please respond.

Hi,
Though most of the symptoms fit into GERD, few  symptoms are very vague and do not fit in to it.
24 hours pH monitoring test is the confirmatory test for GERD.
GERD respond to PPI.

I too have experienced exactly the same thing, but my episodes are almost exclusively at night. It is usually my leg that feels numb though not my left arm. I'm currently on Prilosec (PPI) to treat the GERD. All of this started when the GERD started so hopefully treating the GERD will help the others go away as well.
