Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Though it is almost certain that you might have symptoms due to acidity, it is suggested that you take a basic medical health check up done with emphasis on heart checkup.
Acidity can present as many symptoms and giddiness after a meal can happen. Taking Zinetac 30 minutes before meal protects one from acidity, especially when taken before spicy and oily meals.
Apart from taking Zintac and related medications, you can also minimize the incidence of gastritis by the following ways
1. Adapt to a healthy fitness and diet and maintain your weight within normal range.
2. Give up on smoking and alcohol.
3. Eat small frequent meals and avoid fasting for more than 6 hours. Drink adequate amounts of water.
4. Avoid coffee, chocolate, tomatoes, or fatty or spicy food.
5. Please eat your dinner three or four hours before bedtime.
6. Sit up for at least 30 minutes after having foods.
If your symptoms persist and get severe with time then you are suggested to consult a gastroenterologist and get an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy done to look for any ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. Ulcers in stomach and duodenum is a treatable condition and the earlier they are diagnosed the quicker they are treated with medications.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
