Suggest Treatment For GERD, Heartaches And Arm Pain
I think I have GERDS. For a while now I have had heartburn occasionally and after eating lunch at work my left arm aches for a while. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and was on medicine for a while but got off it after i changed my diet and lowered it. My arm however still aches after I eat.
Hello, Your symptoms could be because of GERD. I would suggest to take omeprazole for a period of 4 weeks. This should help you with your GERD .It is available as an OTC medication. Avoid Carbonated drinks, Alcohol, red meat, smoking and avoid lying down for at least 3 hours after meals Regards Dr Samir Patil
