GERD with erosive esophagitis

2018-10-27 19:43:41
Hi I am having mild burning sensation, chest pain  daily  since 5 months now.  On swallowing solid food like chapati or bread I feel sometimes a difficulty and bit  pain/discomfort while swallowing . I have been diagnosed with GERD and hiatal hernia 3 cm with grade A esoohagitis two months back. I have repeatedly had different ppi treatment but   taking ddr60 since once month now in the morning empty stomach  but the symptoms are still constant and no change . Is this a constant thing that I need to be whole life.

[ ] 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.
