How Can Acid Reflux Along With Appetite Loss Be Treated?
Hi, I ve had heart burn now for 4 days. Started with sever stomache cramps for no reason, the next day had flu like symptoms for two days. Since then, I have loss appetite and the heart burn seems to be getting worse. It hurts upper back when I drink anything and all foods trigger burn in the throat.
Some advices that I can give to you are: -Use H2 blockers (Pepcid, Tagamet, Zantac) that decrease acid production. -Practice proper posture. -Elevate from the waist up. -Mix in a teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of water when you feel the acidity. -Chew gum to help neutralize the acid. -Stay away from cigarette smoke.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
