Hi XXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have constipation/ excessive sweating/ diarrhea/ dry skin/ weakness?
Do you have chest pain/ abdominal heaviness/ abdominal bloating/ excessive flatulence?
Do you smoke or consume alcohol?
My answer can be tweaked with the above details. However with the available information I suggest the following.
Acidity problems may be in form of simple gastritis or in severe form peptic ulcer disease.
Severity can only be defined by endoscopy.
Your condition partially improved because of esogard and in my personal opinion, unienzyme is not a effective medicine for gastric problem.
You should take proton pump inhibitors along with prokinetics (which increases intestinal motility).
In my opinion, there may be high chances of thyroid disease due to presence of gastric problem along with fatigue.
You should consult with physician/ gastro-physician and should go for following investigation along with thorough check up: complete blood count, thyroid profile, serum electrolytes, renal function test, liver function test, blood sugar status and most important endoscopy with biopsy.
Put your views also if any.
Best regards,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
