Posted on Fri, 4 Oct 2013
Question: Good Evening Sir

I am suffering from a very strange thing. From last 5 years my stomach is creating great problem for me. Whenever I take food it creates a sense of fear that after eating continuously acid formation takes place and it forces me to burp. After burping it feels like something came out and it relaxes me for few minutes and then again after few minutes something burns in my bottom part of chest and forces me to burp. Some times it travels into my chest and creates great pain and restlessness. It gives me a feeling of heart attack every time. I am a regular smoker and occasional drinker. Drinking and smoking is a problem O know but what exactly i am suffering from??

Thank You Doctor

I will request you to send me the detail of the medicines like when to take and how many times a day etc. If you can suggest me some Gastroenterologist in the city of Nagpur or Ranchi it will be a great help. Actually Nagpur is my native place and Ranchi I am working there.
Moreover could you please tell me that whether the drinking water we use is also a party to it. In Ranchi the mineral content of the water is too high and I am using the aquaguard water to drink, whether it also creates some problem or not. I will quit smoking and drinking as I am getting married next month and I have committed to do so after marraige.

Brief Answer:
Results will be good if you stop smoking

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Usually, I prescribe Rabeprazole 20mg once daily in the morning and Itopride 50mg thrice daily to my patients with similar complaints. You can talk to any doctor nearby and ask for these drugs.

It is very nice to hear that you want to quit smoking and alcohol.The results will be excellent.
I am sorry to say that I do not know any doctor in both the places. Your local physician will have some contacts.

Water has no role in GERD. You should go for RO (reverse osmosis) system instead of aquagaurd. RO water will be similar to branded mineral water.

Hope I answered your query. If there are no further questions,please give the rating
