Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux

hello, I need help. I have been dealing with a condition for over 8 years and it seems worse. I have been diagnosed with acid reflux and I take protonix and reglan. I am unable to swallow adequately unless I take the reglan. The protonix does help with my acid. I have a constant urge to burp, but I can not ever fully satisfy the burp. I have a constant dull ache, like pressure in mid to right chest area right above my stomach. The ache can been felt in my mid back, almost like a bubble in my mid to right chest. My voice gets hoarse very easily. When I eat I can feel the food go down slowly in my esophagus and stick and stay toward my stomach. this causes me to get light headed. When I was young and I would eat, the food would sometimes get stuck in the middle of my chest which would cause me to pause for a moment, then it would go down. I do not smoke or drink. The pressure seems the most when I have to have a bowel movement. Please help

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN.. YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM GASTROESOPHAGAEAL REFLUX DISEASE.. SOME HOME REMIDIES WILL SURELY HELP

I SUGGEST YOU THE FOLLOWING

AVOID SPICY FOOD AND HOT PREPARATIONS LIKE TEA AND COFFEE..

USE ATLEAST 2 CUSHIONS AT BED TIME THAT WILL HELP YOU TO REDUCE THE REFLUX

AVOID SLEEPING WITHIN 2 HRS OF FOOD

YOU NEED TO BE STARTED ON A PPI LIKE TAB RABEPRAZOLE 20MG OD BEFORE BREAKFAST

YOU ALSO NEED TO AVOID

1) HOT BEVERAGES
2) AVOID CABONATED DRINKS

IF STILL YOUR PROBLE PERSISTS YOU NEED TO CONSULT A GASTROENTEROLOGIST AND IF REQUIRED NEED TO DO A ENDOSCOPY..
HE MAY ALSO START YOU ON TABLET NORMAXIN BD ONLY AFTER CONSULTATION

HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
