What Causes Acidity And Stomach Aches After Doing Night Shifts?
Hi, I am working with a multi national company, wherein I have to do night shifts for a week after a duration of month or so. Recently, chest pains, acidity and stomach aches were reported right after my night shifts.
So, I consulted my company's doctor for the same and she told me have an ECG, as my BP was on a higher side.
Moreover, Human resouces of company are compelling me to come in night shifts, which I. Do not want to do after seeing the outcomes 7-8 times.
Please help

hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic
I have gone through your symptoms and understand your concern,which most likely suggests acid reflux disease(GERD).Sedentary lifestyle and night shifts which your job demands has lead to increase in the symptoms, its a very common condition in IT professionals due to increased stress and I suggest my patients tab.pantoprazole in morning empty stomach for 7 days.But most important for your case is lifestyle modifications like:
1.drink plenty of water and avoid eating heavy meals particularly at night,eat small regular meals.
2.avoid oily,spicy ,fast foods and caffeine containing products like tea,coffee.
3.adequate exercise daily is essential for good health.
4.and lastly fixed timings of meals and sleep will decrease acidity and your problems are persisting with the present job start searching another job afterall health comes first.
5.get an ECG done it is must to rule out a cardiac cause.
Hope i solved your query.
