What Causes Heartburn And Abdominal Pain While On Ecosprin, Pankreoflat And Pantocid?

default
Posted on Fri, 6 Oct 2017
Question: Hi Sir



Its been 2.5 months since I am on your prescribed medication.I started medications on 3rd July 2017. Following medication is being taken for GERD

1. Rablet L once daily empty stomach

2. Acogut 100mg thrice daily before meal

3. Ecosprin thrice daily

4. Pankreoflat thrice daily before meal

5. Mucaine gel thrice daily before meal

6. Pantocid 40mg once in evening



By Sep 3rd my overall condition was improving and was on a scale of 8 out of 10.



But since 4th Sep all of a sudden again I started experiencing continuous bloating and heart burn and breathlessness. I suspect it might have happened because I had tomato soup and on 2 days I had 1 piece each of chocolate cake. Pls correct me if I am wrong.



Pls suggest what should I do as I was getting better and now again things seem to have reversed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
GERD and Gastritis are a functional disorder which means usually there is nothing wrong with functions of gut but symptoms are there. Some times bouts of episodes may reoccur and you need not to panic for that.

In a typical patient,
These symptoms may fully subside and then can return back again.
See my dear friend you have to understand the protocol of treatment.
we can't cure these symptoms but can only control them.
By control i mean that through medicine and proper life style changes in long runs we try to make patients life as good as possible but again as there is no magic formula you should be mentally ready that you have to adhere to STRICT LIFESTYLE modifications.By strict it means strict other wise no amount of medications would help you.

Chocolate cake and tomato soups are something which can aggravate the condition.

See we have given you a medication to relieve your gut from inflammation caused by acid etc.This takes time and slowly and slowly the inflammation settles down however if you take things which again stimulate the inflammatory cascade then again you are on square one of journey.
Your case is a serious case.In most of the people one capsule of pantocid is usually more then enough to control symptoms but in your case despite of aggressive therapy your level was 8 out of 10.

So my advice is remain calm.
Don't panic.
Control your diet strictly at least for 6-8 months initially.


Please mention the levels of your anxiety.
I have covered all aspects of this problem from production to reflux of acid built have not added anti anxiety till date.
See anxiety stimulates your vagus nerves and increases secretion of acid and its reflux.

So please mark your levels of anxiety on a scale of 10.
Please mention you sleep cycle?
Is your mind continuosly occupied by thought that you are sick?
