Hello Mr. XXXX,
Thank you for writing to HCM.
This is Dr.Riyanka Chail answering your query.
I have read your query in details.
Could you please tell me from when are you taking Pantoprazole ? Also are you taking it every morning atleast half an hour before breakfast.
You need to eat smaller meals around 6 times a day. donot stay empty stomach for more than 2 hours. Also take dinner atleast 2 hours before bed time. avoid oily foods. Take fruits and vegetables and bland food.
Continue with Tablet pantoprazole 40mg every morning atleast half an hour before breakfast for atleast 3 weeks.
Also you can take syrup digestive enzymes Aristozyme(available in india) 1 tsp after meal three times a day.
Kindly consult a gastroenterologist for a upper GI endoscopy if it has been more than 1 week since you have take pantoprazole and still symptoms are not coming down.
Since you are a young adult so we dont expect cardiovascular causes but still i would recommend an Ecg for reassurance.
Hope this answered your query.
