Suggest Treatment For Stomach Discomfort And Heartburn
Dr, I had muscle pain on left and right side of the chest, I went to doctor on 10th feb, he checked BP and other things and told me everything is fine and gave me the foolowing tablets
Nitzole D tab and Mucaine Gel for Gas problems. Now for past 3 days I feel heart burn and little stomach discomfort and I am taking Gelusile and started taking less spice food since yesterday.
I think the symptoms are like GERD and I had this issue some years ago.
Please let me know if I need any further tests or should I continue my diet.
The symptoms as mentioned in your post is attributed to Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The acid reflux is caused due to relaxation of the sphincter at the lower part of esophagus.
Medical management consists of intake of Proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole (which prevent acid formation in stomach)+ Domperidone preparations (strengthens the sphincter & prevents reflux)
In addition you need to follow certain diet & lifestyle measures, such as: 1. Dietary modification- avoid consuming irritating substances such as acidic & rich foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. 2. Lifestyle modification- like weight reduction, sleeping on the left side, or with upper body raised.
If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult your treating Doctor/ Gastroenterologist.
Wishing a good health. Take care.
