Gastric issue
Hello doctor! I'm having gastric problem for past few months. Usually will be having lunch by 12:30 pm to 1pm and after that dinner by 9.30 pm. I'm getting acidity, heartburn, also gastric hiccups by evening time sometimes continued until having dinner. Sometimes acidity reflux also happens. Once I have consulted doctor and he prescribed me "Nexpro L" everyday morning before breakfast. While having that I was free from acidity especially heartburn. Now when I discontinued it again the problem started. Can you pls advice me what is the issue is and should I have to continue that medicine? Sometimes I also take reflux forte syrup which give me temporary relief from heartburn and acidity. Pls advice doctor.

Get an ultrasonography done. Sometimes similar symptoms are there with gallstones. An endoscopy may be required

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You need to make some diet changes.
Instead of three meals, have 5 smaller meals at regular intervals.
Avoid oily, spicy and fried foods.
Avoid green chillies altogether.
Tab. Rantac-D half an hour before food twice a day for 10 days.
If still persists, get a endoscopy done and consult a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
