"Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and related symptoms are the most common gastric problems encountered frequently. A 62-year-old male presented with a history of heartburn followed by dysphagia. The patient was advised to continue treatment of a high dose of PPI. With PPI, the patient began to practice Yoga exercises, including Kapalbhati Pranayama and Agnisar Kriya. Patient showed dramatic clinical improvement, with reduction in bravi scores and improvement in esophagitis grading.
