General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I would like to tell you that you are suffering from Gastroesophageal reflux disease. You have to refrain from eating oily and spicy food. Stay away from processed foods and beverages which contains caffeine.

Avoid eating anything 2 hours before going to sleep. Raise the head end of the bed with two pillows. Take an antacid like pantoprazole on empty stomach for a few days. If the symptoms don't subside even after following the above steps, you may have to get yourself checked by a gastroenterologist. He may advise you to undergo an endoscopy.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nazma.amman
