Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history and understood your concerns.
Since you have a known problem of Heartburn, it is necessary to get the proper diagnosis as GERD, Hiatus hernia and many other conditions can cause it.
Get an upper GI Endoscopy to see for the cause of heartburn and to know the grades of the diseases that you may have. This is very important assessment.
Also get the blood and stool checked.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen to rule out any pathology in gall bladder and Pancreas as this too can enhance the gastritis and GERD to cause heartburn.
Once diagnosed properly, your have to take Rabonik for one month and have followup check up to see whether to continue the medications, or to change or may need surgery if need be.
Similar thing about Cintapro.
Also needed is to avoid the foods, beverages that instigate or enhance the problems.
Control of stress and anxiety are very important factors.
Continue the treatment under the care of a Gastroenterologist.
