Hello
Thanks for your query.
Your pain is typical of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) for which you need to take pantoprazole tablet 40 mg twice daily before food for 1 and 1/2 months along with life style modifications like water intake 3-4 liter per day, avoidance of fat, spicy and fast food, bland diet, frequent less amount of food and head end elevation during sleep. You at least go with this treatment for 7 days and look for the improvement and if improvement is there you have to maintain it for 6 weeks at least otherwise symptoms will recur.
Thank You
Regards
