Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve been struggling with constant heartburn for a while now... My heartburn gets bad around 12am onwards and it s to the point where I cannot sleep because of how painful it is. It burns my chest and throat so bad I get nauseous. What do I do? I ve tried chewable heartburn tablets, I ve tried milk drinks, nothing is working and the pain just gets worse and worse.
Hi Thanks for posting your query on HCM. I understand your concern. Take a prton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole and an antacid like maalox.You will also have to see a Gastrologist for a fibroscopic exam.I will also advise you try the following home measures: -Eat smaller meals -Don't lie down immediately after a meal -Elevate the head of your bed -Avoid smoking -Avoid foods and drinks that trigger heartburn -Avoid tight-fitting clothing -Have your weight under control Hope these will help.You may write back if more concerns. Best regards
