Hello,

There are many causes for acid Peptic disease. Most common causes are stress, NSAIDS consumption, H pylori infection and intake of spicy food and alcohol. Few gastrin secreting tumors also lead to Peptic ulcer.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking, and caffeine drinks. Food intake in right time, do regular exercise, yoga and meditation.

Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. If symptoms do not improve, please consult your doctor who will examine by endoscopy and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
