Acid Reflux extreme weight loss

During a battle with a severe muscle strain I was put on muscle relaxers and prednisone. When I got close to the last pill of prednisone I started having extreme acid reflux and heart burn. It was soo bad I could hardly eat and hardly drink even water. It got to the point where I went to the ER as I thought I was having a heart attack as well. ER did multiple EKG's and blood tests and found nothing wrong. Then they got me on a PPI inhibitor. However, I started having symptoms of extreme fatigue and light headedness although the acid reflux symptoms were not as bad on the meds. Overall, I have lost over 20lbs in 3 weeks. I was 250lbs at 5'11 previously.. fat but a lot of muscle as well very huge. Now I am around 230lbs less fat and lost a lot of muscle. For the first week of symptoms it was bad enough I was hardly eating and drinking. Recently, I almost passed out when I was at a chiropractor appointment. I woke up with a headache and felt light-headed then almost passed out felt like I was losing my equilibrium. I went to urgent care and again they couldn't find anything.. except that my iron was extremely high. I have another appointment with my primary coming up.. and another with GI doctor in a week. Just wondering if anybody has had similar issues or has any advice. Thank you.
