Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I am sorry about your reflux problem. You seem to be young to have this problem.

You would definitely benefit from proton pump inhibitor drugs like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole. I usually prescribe my patients Pantop- D once daily early in the morning on empty stomach for a period of 2 weeks. This would take care of the reflux and the vomiting sensation.

Both the drugs are prescription drugs. You may want to get them prescribed by your doctor as well.

Together with this, lifestyle changes in the form of healthy eating habits, more fluids orally, will help you.

Get well soon.
