I am facing regular acidity problem.Please let me know the remedy .
Hyperacidity is a life style condition.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Medically I will start you on proton pump inhibitor such as esomeprazole 40mg (nexpro) once a day before breakfast for 2-3 weeks. This will bring your acid levels down. During this time, you should start implementing diet and life style change as the one described below:
1. Never skip meals. Instead I suggest you to eat small meals more frequently
2. Avoid smoking, alcohol, caffeinated beverages, high spicy diet.
3. If you are overweight, shed your weight
4. Sleep at timed intervals and make sure you sleep adequately.
5. Keep yourself active with morning exercises
6. Make sure you deal with all stressors adequately. You can take help of family, friends and colleagues before consulting experts if you have high amount of stress.
7. Lastly drink lots of water.
If symptoms don't resolve with those changes, you should see a gastroenterologist and plan for endoscopy.
Hope this helps.
Regards
