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.
Hello. I was diagnosed yesterday with GERD. I was prescribed Protonix 40mg. I have not been able to pay for the prescription yet because I have no insurance and its $159.00 for the generic. I have had a feeling of a burp being stuck in my throat for 5 days and I need to find some relief.. How could I possibly get rid of this feeling?
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I would say that if this is really Gastroesophageal reflux disease then you have to take the prescribed proton pump inhibitor, mean while the symptom can be minimize with alkali food like green salad alkali drink like fruit salt, avoid coffee and smoking alcohol prior to bed, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
