Acidity and Lightheadedness
I had a cold and the doctor prescribed an antibiotic and antacid(omesec20mg).
The cold went away but I got extremely hungry and acidity increased since I couldnt eat so much.
Now(2 months later)I get nausea, stomach heat with feeling of acid inside for long periods, have vomited acid once, and have sour burps. I also get lightheaded occasionally.
I dont even understand if I am eating due to hunger or to make the acidity go away.
Pleas help...I dont want to take antacid as that may make it worse

Follow some life style changes : stop tea coffee. Avoid spicy food. Don't eat cabbage / capsicum/ don't drink / eat citrus fruits. If symptoms persists then It's better to get a upper Gastroscopy done to rule out ulcers/ erosions/ presence of H.pylori infection. By then you can take tab. PANTODAC DSR (1-0-1) HALF AN HOUR BEFORE MEAL FOR 7 DAYS. Sup. GAVISCON 10 ml THREE TIMES A DAY AFTER MEAL FOR 10 DAYS.
