Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
Even though it is good to be concerned about one's own health, one should not become frightened or obsessive on cancer without a clinical examination and the related investigations if any.
All your symptoms at very many places might be not related to each other clinically.
Regarding the
GERD (reflux of acid), the following steps could be of help for you:
1) Elevate the head end of the bed with two blocks on each side, so that the regurgitation does not occur while lying down, and the contents of
esophagus and stomach flow down with gravity.
2) Some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food
3) Regular routine exercises like morning walk depending on your medical fitness.
4) Prescription for a prokinetic agent and a
proton pump inhibitor for symptomatic relief and to have a control on the acid production and facilitate movement of gastric contents downwards.
Further management would depend on the reports of the ultrasound/CT scan/ endoscopic evaluation of your intestines by a gastro enterologist.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
