TREATMENT FOR ACID REFLUX
I am having acid reflux after having food especially at night when I go to sleep. Because of this I have a sensation in my throat that something it stuck there however there sometimes pain in the jaw as well. However, I am not suffering from any swallowing problem but this reflux and feeling of something stuck in throat has made my sleep miserable. I also had an endoscopy 1 yr back and everything was normal in it. Report attached.
My doctor had prescribed me Pantaprazole and Levosulpiride and Gaviscon syrup but it didn't have any good effect. He then prescribed me Nexpro L ( Esomeprazole + Levosulpiride ) along with Gaviscon but it also didn't show any good effect. I feel as if some hot substance is coming up in my mouth and throat . What should be the line of treatment in such cases ?
Should I take Nexpro L twice a day or should I take it with Ranitidine or Famotidine ?
Pls help🙏

Your symptoms suggest that you are having reflux disease. Although the endoscopy done one year before by experienced gastroenterologist did not show any evidence of reflux.
Next Steps
So you need further evaluation by repeat endoscopy to rule out H pylori infection.This infection is curable with medications.
If this step does not help to improve your symptoms then you need 24 hour PH study to look for reflux disease.
Health Tips
Eat healthy food. Have adequate sleep. Don’t have the stress of this problem. The stress at this point aggravate the symptoms of reflux. So have a stressfree sleep and life
