How can I relieve GERD and control acidity?

Patient's Query

Hello, here rupa and my problem is im suffering from GERD problem how to rid from this problem ,and how many time does it take to control my acidity. What is the medicine?

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

You have GERD, where stomach acid goes back into the food pipe and causes discomfort. Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, chest pain, and a sore throat. To reduce the intensity you may use smaller quantities of food. Antacids or proton pump inhibitors also affect stomach acids, so when needed, these medications are advised to be taken. Determining the right course of action may be lengthy and difficult for you. But with your commitment and those new lifestyle changes, you may feel many improvements.

Hi, I am a healthy 54 year old male. I have been doing some routine annual lab tests near my home, where they do comprehensive labs for check-up. I have been doing it for several years, and everything is basically normal. However, I just received a lab result, CA 19-9, which is elevated (44), normal is below 34. I actually had this lab test CA 19-9 way back in 7/2022, when the level was 12 (normal). Then I had it in annual testing on 9/2023, and it was 25 (but within normal limits). In the past 6-12 months, I have had normal lactate and amylase levels too. Also, all my other blood test from yesterday were normal, including liver function test (and normal bilirubin), normal CBC, normal CEA level, normal amylase, normal sedimentation rate, normal TSH, normal blood chemistry. Of note, I also had a normal DNA stool test (cologuard) 3 years ago. I also had normal FIT stool test 2 months ago, and also last year (twice it was normal). I have no symptoms and no weight loss, and no signs of jaundice. I am not overweight either, and I do not smoke nor drink alcohol. And no one in my family has had cancer before. As I mentioned, this was incidental, but I would like to know your opinion if this is ominous, and next steps. I have schedule a full body MRI scan for next week too. Thank you.

Im wondering why I’m always fatigued and why after taking 120mg of Sudafed as well as drinking a whole pot of coffee, why my heart rate is only 60 beats per minute.

FATIGUE can be caused by many factors including stress and poor sleep.. Sudafed can cause low heart rate DESPITE caffeine consumption.. However, there may be underlying medical conditions causing FATIGUE and low heart rate.. It's best to CONSULT with a doctor to determine the CAUSE of your symptoms..

I had a stomach virus last week, and when I wasn’t showing symptoms, I shared a beverage with somebody who later that day presented symptoms and became ill. Will I get reinfect

Female | 18

Reinfection worrie­s arise when drinks get share­d with a sick person. Gastroenteritis, the­ stomach virus, stems from germs like viruse­s, and bacteria. Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps are­ symptoms. Handwashing frequently, avoiding shared drinks, and staying hydrate­d with fluids prevent illness.
