Treatment for GERD
Dear Doctor, I have been diagnosed with GERD. I consulted with two doctors from two different hospitals. One prescribed me Esomeprazole and the other gave me Pantoprazole. I am confused which one to take and which one is more effective than the other.
Symptoms: excessive bloating, tight chest, back pain(right behind left chest), frequent growling sound in stomach(never had this before), dizziness, but never felt pain in stomach.
Lifestyle: not active for 3 years, sedentary routine, always on bed, laziness, no work out, stressful mind, unhappy marriage life.
