I understand the complexity of your symptoms associated with esophagus motility disorder and functional heartburn. It's crucial to approach your condition comprehensively, considering your desire for pregnancy, here are few things to consider: medication management: esomeprazole 40 mg / esogress is a proton pump inhibitor (ppi) used to manage acid reflux. Its efficacy can vary among individuals. It's vital to adhere to the prescribed dosage and discuss any recurring symptoms with your healthcare provider. Lifestyle modifications: implement lifestyle changes to minimize acid reflux triggers. This includes avoiding large meals, acidic or spicy foods, and lying down after eating. Elevating the head of your bed can assist in reducing nighttime reflux. Dietary adjustments: collaborate with a dietitian to identify specific trigger foods and customize your diet accordingly. This can significantly impact the frequency and intensity of acid reflux and associated symptoms. Continuous monitoring: maintain a detailed symptom diary to track patterns, triggers, and medication effectiveness. Regularly share this information with your healthcare provider for informed decision-making. Pregnancy planning: it's commendable that you're considering pregnancy. Discuss your plans with your obs/gynaec doctor to explore acid reflux management strategies that are safe during pregnancy. They may recommend alternative medications or lifestyle modifications. Nasal and throat symptoms: mucus accumulation in the throat and nose can be associated with acid reflux. Ensuring proper acid suppression is crucial. Additionally, consider nasal saline irrigation to alleviate nasal congestion and mucus buildup. Ear, nose, and throat (ent) assessment: given the pressure and symptoms in your throat, nose, and ear, consider consulting an ent specialist for a comprehensive evaluation. They can assess for any structural or inflammatory issues contributing to your symptoms. Alternative medications or therapies: if esomeprazole alone is insufficient, your healthcare provider may explore alternative medications or therapies. This could include combining medications or trying different acid-suppressing drugs. Remember, managing acid reflux is a nuanced process, and individual responses to treatments vary. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to assess progress and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. If you have specific concerns or require further tailored advice, feel free to initiate a private consultation. Your well-being is paramount, and i'm here to support you on your health journey.

I'm truly sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing. Managing depression and anxiety, especially during pregnancy, can be incredibly difficult. It's important to remember that i'm not a doctor, but I can provide some general information. Nexito, known generically as escitalopram, is an antidepressant medication typically used to treat depression and anxiety. The safety of using escitalopram during pregnancy isn't completely clear-cut. There's some evidence suggesting that taking ssris (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, the class of drugs nexito belongs to) during pregnancy might pose certain risks to the fetus, such as premature birth, low birth weight, or withdrawal symptoms in the newborn. However, untreated depression and anxiety during pregnancy can also have risks both for you and the developing fetus. Here are some key points to consider: risks of untreated depression and anxiety: untreated mental health conditions can lead to poor nutrition, inadequate prenatal care, increased substance use, and other risky behaviors. They can also negatively affect fetal development and lead to complications such as low birth weight or premature birth. Medication during pregnancy: the decision to use medication like nexito during pregnancy is complex. It involves weighing the potential risks of the medication to the fetus against the risks of untreated depression and anxiety to both the mother and the fetus. Consultation with health professionals: it's crucial to work closely with your psychiatrist and obstetrician. They can help balance these risks and provide guidance tailored to your specific situation. Your psychiatrist's suggestion to use nexito has likely taken into consideration your personal health history and current condition. Monitoring and support: regular monitoring during pregnancy is important when taking any medication. This can help manage any potential side effects and ensure the well-being of both you and your baby. Alternative treatments: besides medication, other treatments for depression and anxiety, such as therapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes, might be recommended. Discuss these options with your healthcare providers. Family history and genetics: your concern about the impact of medication on your baby, given your first child's condition, is understandable. Discuss this aspect with your healthcare provider for a more informed decision. Informed decision making: ultimately, the decision whether to take medication during pregnancy should be made collaboratively, taking into account your personal situation, the severity of your symptoms, and the potential risks and benefits. Please ensure that any decision you make is in close consultation with your healthcare providers. They are best equipped to provide advice that takes into account your full medical history and current health status.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. These factors can trigger or aggravate acne: hormones, certain medications, diet, stress. To prevent pimples, eat fresh fruits, green vegetables, drinking plenty of water should be an essential part of your routine and intake of oily fried foods, an excess of sugar-salt should be avoided. Don't peal pimples, as they tend to leave scars. Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. It’s a good cleanser. If skin is dry then apply moisturizer like coconut oil. For swollen pimples, gently apply ice for a minute or so. Just don't keep the ice on so long that it irritates your skin. Tea tree oil can kill bacteria. Some people use it to treat minor skin irritations, including acne. There isn't much research on how effective it is, but tea tree oil is safe to put directly on your skin in a diluted form. Try it on a small area first to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction. Simple honey mask--before applying this mask, rinse your face with warm water to open up pores. Then apply honey and leave it on the skin for 30 minutes. Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores. Yeast and yogurt mask for oily skin--oily skin is prone to acne, and this home remedy can reduce excess oil and help clear acne. To make the mask, combine 1 teaspoon of brewer's yeast with a little plain yogurt to create a thin mixture. Apply it thoroughly to all the oily areas and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water; then use cold water to close the pores.Homeopathy is a very effective for this problem n has very encouraging results. Consult online for medicinal part.

Hi. From whatever you have typed I understand that you are having anxiety and depression and on medications for the same. Need more details regarding your condition and also your pregnancy like how many weeks pregnant you are, if you are taking clonafit while pregnant etc. I advise you to discuss about this pregnancy with your husband, regarding abortion and once you both come to a decision and then approach a gynecologist. If the rule of law permits like depending on the trimester of pregnancy and depending on findings on anomaly scan they will decide about abortion. All the best.
