Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am having severe heartburn to the point I cannot sleep, even if I try sleeping while sitting up. This is the 3rd day of this. It’s so bad I almost get the urge to vomit, my mouth fills with saliva. I take omeprazol daily and have been taking Tums also the past 3 days.
You should keep your head elevated while sleeping. Don't take excess spicy foods. I would also like to suggest you take gelusil like syrup once before going to sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
