Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. From your history, it seems that you have got some element of
GERD (gastro esophageal regurgitation disorder). To get relief, I would advise you for the following:
1) Elevate the head end of the bed with two blocks on each side, so that the regurgitation does not occur while lying down, and the contents of
esophagus and stomach flow down with gravity.
2) Some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food, and avoidance of alcoholic beverages and
smoking if you do.
3) Regular routine exercises like morning walk depending on your medical fitness aim being a better digestion and reduction in weight.
4) Prescription for a prokinetic agent and a
proton pump inhibitor (
Rabeprazole which she is already on) for symptomatic relief and to have a control on the acid production and facilitate movement of gastric contents downwards.
5) Routine
stool test for ova and
cyst and treat them if positive.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
