Brief Answer:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

You are having GERD symptoms (Gastroesophageal esophageal reflux disease).
This is a condition in which the stomach contents reflux into the food pipe.

In addition to the medications you take, lifestyle/dietary changes are also important for complete relief.

1. You are obese. You need to reduce weight.
2. Avoid smoking /alcohol ( If you have these habits).
3. Avoid coffee, citrus, chocolates, tomatoes, fatty/spicy/masala/fried food
4. Avoid bedtime snacks. Go to bed at least 2-3 hours after food.

I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.

Thanks doctor..... The condition I am having now is a serious one? But I was having the acid reflex before but not now. Now I am having only the burps doctor which is coming often but I didn't feel any acid reflex while having burps. If I reduced weight and followed the diet it will be cured, am i right? Gerd is a dangerous disease or what doctor, because I am recently married and worried a lot about my life. The condition I have will lead to cancer? Plz help me doctor.. Any comment on the endoscopy report attached doctor..... And frequent endoscopy is needed for me doctor...?
Plz answer all my questions doctor... I can't live withput medicines doctor?
And tell me what are the foods I can eat doctor?

Brief Answer:
GERD is not serious condition

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
GERD is not a serious condition.
You can just follow the advice I have given in my previous post - Medications and lifestyle changes.
Your endoscopy is absolutely normal.
You do not need frequent endoscopy as of now.
In the previous post I have mentioned what NOT to eat. All the other food items you can eat.
Obesity is a risk factor for GERD. Weight reduction helps in relief.
And most importantly anxiety worsens it.

Regards,
Dr.R.K.
