Hyper acidity
Good morning, Dr.
My medication is ending tomorrow. My acidity is not so acute now. But I get discomfort after consuming food. I feel my stomach is getting filled with gas and it is subsiding gradually. I haven't undergone Endoscopy test yet. Please advise if I should continue the medication. Also please let me know if I should go for Endoscopy test. Am a bit worried if Endoscopy tears the lining of my stomach..
Regards
AMRESH B N

As far as acidity is concerned, the medicines is only a part of the treatment. In addition lifestyle modification is equally important.
Having properly cooked food, keeping oil and spices under control, having enough roughage in food, being upright (either sitting or standing, but not lying down immediately after food) is equally important.
"After dinner walk a mile" is also important.
In addition you should use the medicines for hyperacidity as advised by your doctor should also be consumed.
As far as endoscopy is concerned, at your age that is also required. It is not that we will become wiser about the cause of hyperacidity, the point is that we should not be missing something serious. Even malignancy may have only symptoms of hyperacidity and gaseous distension to start with.
In short, medicines alone are not sufficient.
