Started menopause been having digestive issues mainly heartburn/acid reflux acted up this evening can't get relief, tried Pepto, tums, activa, tsp honey, chewing gum, still no relief, do have Pepcid complete not sure if I should try this so I can sleep or more tums. Was on prevacid for 4 days but quit taking as I was taking at same time as Amoxicillin but the combination made me feel different and had very dry throat even though drinking 10-12 glasses of water and was on bland diet for a couple days

Hello, this is Dr yash
I have gone through your question.
First of all try to reduce or stop smoking, because smoking is also the risk factor for acid reflux.

Try to eat little food, don't eat spicy, fatty and too much of food in a single time.
Have your dinner 2 hr before going to the bed.

Dont take too much water with food.

Acid reflux occur due to decrease in lower esophageal Sphincter tone.

To daignosis this, you have to go for upper GI endoscopy, 24 hr PH monitoring, lower esophageal pressure tone.

Till then you can have some antacid like ( syrup mucain gel 5 ml thrice a day before food and tab PAN-d twice daily before food.

I think I have answered your question.

Thanks
