Suggest Treatment For Severe Acidity And Burning Sensation In The Neck
Question: Hi, I am having acidity since few weeks and this happens only while i am in XXXXXXX In between i went to my hometown and there i faced no acidity issue, even though i ate lot of oily food there. Can it be due to not eating fresh food and eating a meal after some hours since it has been prepared?
I usually feel acidity at night even though i lie down post 3 hours of having dinner. Generally i burp more than farting and i feel some burning in my neck and i also sweat a lot through hands and feets while acidity occurs. I use mustard oil for cooking food.
Kindly suggest what can be the reason behind this and do i need to get a medical attention?
Thanks & Regards

Brief Answer:
due to stress and restlessness
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query.
The most commonest cause for repeated problems with acidity considering your young age would be following
1. Irregular food habits
2. Stress and worry
3. Weather: Hot weather may worsen the symptoms
As far as medical treatment is concerned, I would start proton pump inhibitors like esomeprazole ) once a day along with antacids for 2-3 weeks. These should take care of acute hyperacidity treatments. However, long term management is with diet and life style change. They include:
1. Avoiding unnecessary medications especially over the counter pain medicines.
2. Taking regular food. Prefer small and frequent food instead of 3 large meals a day.
3. Look forward to dietary triggers that induce hyperacidity and avoid it. Common triggers are high spicy diet, deep fried and smoked food, alcohol, caffeinated beverages, coffee/tea, etc. Smoking is also a trigger. Avoid them if you have any such triggers.
4. Drink plenty of water
5. Make sure you sleep adequately.
Take care

Hi XXXXXXX
First of all thanks for such an early reply. Secondly i was also in doubt that weather can be one of the factor for my acidity as whenever i see increase in my acidity, mostly it is during the weather change.
For medication why do i need to take proton pump inhibators? And what antacid should i take? As Rabonik DSR causes me headache, drowsiness.
And is there anything that i should take care of during weather change which will prevent the acidity in future?
Thanks & Regards XXXXXXX XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Take omeprazole

Hi
Thanks again for writing
Acidity is the result of multiple factors.Weather is also one of them.Factors varies with each individual.
You can take Proton pump inhibitor like Tab Omez 40 mg , half an hour before food if it is severe. Otherwise you can use Diegene syrup twice daily for 1 week.
Drink plenty of water. Warm weather leads to dehydration.which causes muscle cramps, heat stroke, headache and other symptoms.
You can have fruit juices, butter milk and soft non spicy food.
Avoid junk food

You can take digene, Half an hour before food.
If you are not taking junk good then its good.
Have food on time with less of oil and spices.
Try to avoid drinks and try to replace it with fresh fruit juices.
As you have burp problem you may need to take Omez D along with Digene.
If you have any doubt you are welcome, otherwise kindly close the thread and rate it.
