Question

Hello, Thanks for your query on Lybrate "As" per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this- 1) Do a clinical examination by your treating Doctor gastroenterologist and do few investigations like endoscope and manometry 2) Discuss with your treating Doctor about pantoprazole, and Baclofen Do follow few lifestyle modifications like this - 1) Try to maintain a healthy weight. Excess weights put pressure on your abdomen, pushing up your stomach and causing acid to back up into your esophagus. If your weight is healthy, work to maintain it. If you are overweight or obese, work to slowly lose weight no more than 1 kilogram per week. 2) Try to avoid tight-fitting clothing. Clothes that fit tightly around your waist put pressure on your abdomen and the lower esophageal sphincter. 3) Try to 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. 4) Try to eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals. 5) Don't lie down after a meal. Wait at least three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed. Elevate the head of your bed. If you regularly experience heartburn at night or while trying to sleep, put gravity to work for you. Place wood or cement blocks under the feet of your bed so that the head end is raised by 6 inches. 6) Don't smoke. Smoking decreases the lower esophageal sphincter's ability to function properly. Hope that helps.
