Acid reflux GERD

2024-01-11 19:50:06
Hello, I am suffering from acid reflux and GERD, too much gas belching, Doctor prescribed me PPI. Sompraz - esomeprazole. I get relief from it. I am using it for more than 6 months. My symptoms returns when i stop taking medicines. 10 to 30 days no acid reflux but After 10 to 30 days my symptoms returns back slowly slowly. How long should I take PPi for my problem. Is it safe to take PPi for long term. Or any other long term usable medicine. Is there any diagnostic test to confirm GERD. I am thinking for surgery option. Thanks!!
