These two symptoms are quite common with GERD.
Hey rjo1948.
Welcome to the forum.
Hunger is usually a good sign. Do you feel sick while you are eating or afterwards?
Is it with everything you eat or particular foods? And has it been long like this?
Has anything changed with you since this started?
Please give some details, as it is difficult to comment based on the info you provided.
Hope you fell better and please post soon, including digestive health history,
if you are up to it.
Blessings,
Nikodicreta
