Hi

Thanks for posting your query

I believe the more information a person gives the better is the doctor’s reply. Thus it improves the satisfaction levels of both. Hence please answer the following….

1] Are your meals spicy,fermented?
2] Are you obese[Overweight]?
3] Do you smoke?
4] What is your job profile?
5] Are you stressed?
6 ]Is there history of Alcohol consumption?
7] Are you on any medications apart from Prilosec? How long are you on Prilosec?
8] Do you have history of burping and fluid coming up with burps?
9] Have you undergone any endoscopy?

Usually if the above responses are no - Adding antacid and changing from Omeprazole to Esomeprazole or Rabeprazole with Domperidone/Itopride should work.

Please do write back with the answers so that I can guide you better.

Awaiting your response.

Regards.

Hi

Thanks for the followup query and clarifications.

I would recommend you continue Prilosec for atleast 14 days twice a day before breakfast and before dinner.

Relive your stress and anxiety by meditation or medication.

With just three weeks of history I would say no for H Pylori.

Yet if you are all the more concerned there are blood tests available to detect antibodies against H Pylori ,U may go for it instead of a Gastroscopy and Urease test.


Hope I have answered your query. please do write back if you have additional concerns.

If you do not have any further queries do accept my reply.

Get well soon.

Regards.
