Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM.
You are having a condition called GERD (Gastro esophalegeal reflux disorder) overlapped with Gastritis and reflux oesophagitis. In this, there is reversal of acid and gastric contents from stomach back into food pipe. It is usually associated with severe retrosternal chest burning sensation called heart burn and gastritis.As you suspect a bit red color in your vomiting,A sample of next vomit should be sent for routine and microscopy test to look for blood.A probiotic should be started for 1 week.
Please request your Gastroenterologist to prescribe you Levosulpiride or Domperidone 30 mg once daily in combination with proton pump inhibitor. This will help you symptomatically in long term.
Acotiamide can also be added to your regimen thrice daily . Please discuss these options with your Gastroenterologist.As per your question yes you can start till tomorow morning however start taking probiotics and Pantoprazole from today.
Though not asked by you yet some general instructions apart from medicines to help you in fast recovery are-
- Increase XXXXXXX warm water intake

No smoking and alcohol.
-Add lot of vegetables and fruits to your diet.
