Hyperacidity

2017-04-29 15:57:43
I am 23 years old and constantly face acidity-related issues that are way too bad for my age. I get nausea, vomiting, heartburn, headaches and my appetite also fluctuates due to this issue. I had gotten a barium swallow done a few years ago since I regurgitated my food back then. The issue still persists. I was told by the gastroenterologist then that it was a 'psychosomatic' issue. Now I don't know if this is a stomach issue or a mental one, but I need helpful medical guidance that I didn't get before.

Hello there...i understand your concern...try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..do regular exercises...take pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above....consult physician if symptoms persists.
