acid reflux can be triggered by various elements - food habits, stress and anatomical factors. change in these can reduce acid reflux. You can continue the treatment for a week and watch, with some restriction in diets- avoid spicy food, smoking, alcohol, consuming tea and coffee on empty stomach

Give 2 to 4 weeks trial with anti reflux medications as advised to you. If symptoms persist or recur following stoppage of medications, meet your doctor and consider getting an upper GI endoscopy evaluation done. But make sure you follow a good healthy diet and avoid any acid triggers ( smoking, tobacco, excessive alcohol, tea, coffee and heavy meals)

[ ] Hi as symptoms are suggestive of gastritis. Need to follow some lifestyle changes. Take food timely. Avoid cabbage, capsicum, citrus fruits ( for a while). Don't drink water with food, take after 40 min. as much as needed thereafter. Don't lie down immediately after food. Finish night meal by 8.30 pm maximum. Go to bed after minimum 1 hour after dinner. Always keep stomach 1/4 th empty.Divide meal into 5-6 times a day. Avoid the particular food, which is being observed to cause bloating, fullness, upper abdominal pain/ discomfort, reflux symptoms etc. A good acid blocker is needed to check excess acid production. Some times in intractable cases one need to go ahead with Upper Gastroscopy to rule out gastric ulcer/erosions and presence of H PYLORI infection.Feel free to ask any further quary related to this problem.
