Best Answer:
You have got The GERD: Gastro esophageal reflux disease.
Here are some aspects about the treatment:
Self-Care at Home
Many people can relieve their symptoms by changing their habits and lifestyle. The following steps, if followed, may reduce your reflux significantly.
Don't eat within 3 hours of bedtime. This allows your stomach to empty and acid production to decrease. If you don't eat, your body isn't making acid to digest the food.
Similarly, don't lie down right after eating at any time of day.
Elevate the head of your bed 6 inches with blocks. Gravity helps prevent reflux.
Don't eat large meals. Eating a lot of food at one time increases the amount of acid needed to digest it. Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day.
Avoid fatty or greasy foods, chocolate, caffeine, mints or mint-flavored foods, spicy foods, citrus, and tomato-based foods. These foods decrease the competence of the LES ( lower esophageal sphincter).
Avoid drinking alcohol. Alcohol increases the likelihood that acid from your stomach will back up.
Stop smoking. Smoking weakens the lower esophageal sphincter and increases reflux.
Lose excess weight. Overweight and obese people are much more likely to have bothersome reflux than people of healthy weight.
Stand upright or sit up straight, maintain good posture. This helps food and acid pass through the stomach instead of backing up into the esophagus.
Talk to your health care provider about taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or medicines for osteoporosis. These can aggravate reflux in some people.
Some of these changes may be difficult for people to make. Talk to your health care provider if you need some tips on losing weight or quitting smoking. Knowing that your heartburn will get better may keep you motivated.
Nonprescription (over-the-counter) remedies
These also may help relieve your symptoms. Check with your health care provider before trying any of these.
Antacids: These are effective when taken 1 hour after meals and at bedtime because they neutralize acid already present.
Some familiar brand names of antacids are Gaviscon, Maalox, Mylanta, and Tums.
Some are combined with a foaming agent. Foam in the stomach apparently helps prevent acid from backing up into the esophagus.
Medications
These drugs use different mechanisms to reduce reflux.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
PPIs include omeprazole (Prilosec), esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (Aciphex), and pantoprazole (Protonix).
They block the production of an enzyme needed to produce stomach acid.
PPIs stop acid production more completely than H2-blockers.
Coating agents
Sucralfate (Carafate) coats mucous membranes and sores to provide an additional protective barrier against stomach acid.
Promotility agents
Promotility agents include metoclopramide (Reglan, Clopra, Maxolon) and bethanechol (Duvoid, Urabeth, Urecholine).
They help tighten the lower esophageal sphincter and promote faster emptying of the stomach.
Hope that may help you!
Good luck!
