Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of unable to sleep due to acidity, that is pittham, burning sensation in stomach and esophagus; taking medicines for cholesterol and triglycerides.
I would advise you the following:
- Take a PPI like Omeprazole.
Antacid 3 tsf every three hours.
Domperidone.
Soft bland diet in small frequent feeds.
8 hours sound sleep in headup position for the bed.
This will help a lot. If required upper GI endoscopy for proper diagnosis of the sequel of acidity.
I find this answer helpful
