HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the GERD then the right medicine and the right dose and total period of therapy matters the great, let me inform you that the PPI is the best molecule for this and best is Omeprazole it has to be taken in 40 mg along with Domperidone 20 mg once in day and it has to be taken at evening time therapy needs to be continued for six weeks, beside this care needs to be taken for diet avoid takin spicy food heavy meal, coffee, alcohol, smoking prior to bed, stay away from the stress hope this information helps.
