Hyperacidity & Cough issue
I have been having hyperacidiyyu issue since over a year (heartburn, acid reflux). I almost always eat home food now, stopped having tea even, stopped consuming colaetc But since last 3 mths or so I cannot live without having a Pentocid 40 tablet every morning (earlier I used to take Zinetac but that doesn't help that much as Pentocid does). The acidity is in control but I get a lot of constant cough, coughing (khansi) doesn't help to bring out phlegm, there is slight wheezing while breathing sometime. I have also started snoring a lot with open mouth which sometimes cause intense dry mouth and throat causing me to wake-up during night. I don't want to go surgery route and absolutely fear endoscopy. Is there a natural solution to this issue? Can using Pentocid daily cause any side effect (I am also on Telma 40 for BP). Behaviorally, I can tell you that I am a very hypochondriac guy, very self-centered but I am not under stress or anything. I don't smoke or drink. I am currently 45.

Hi.... Avoid foods and drinks that trigger heartburn. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your heartburn. Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals. Don't lie down after a meal. Wait at least three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed.
