What Causes Severe Heartburn In The Elderly?
Hi welcome to health care magic... It seems to be gastroesophageal reflux disease for which omeprazole capsule on empty stomach can be taken ... Hiatus hernia has to be ruled out here ... You might need investigation with endoscopy , barium x ray etc to do further work up.... It will also reveal if diverticula or growth if present Avoid excess spicy foods Heavy fatty meal avoided Take care Advise : Gastroenterologist consultation for examination
