Question

Can someone point me in the right direction when it comes to medical literature or any information linking Acid reflex/ GERD to long-term NSAID usage? I am doing a supplemental to a denied secondary service claim for GERD and I'm trying to make sure my letter and my Doctors IMO are on point. Thank you!
I also take Albuterol and Prednisone, and Lorazepam (Anti-anxiety) so if you have information on those, I would appreciate it. I am also doing my own research.
