Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the Malox contains Aluminium hydroxide,
Magnesium hydroxide and
Simethicone to relieve some of the gastric problems. The burps and
shortness of breath can be additionally addressed with:
- Elevating head end of the bed about 30 degrees
- Dietary precautions to avoid all spices, non veg, dairy fat
- Consume small, frequent meals
- Avoid over eating and over fasting
- Do not go to bed for minimum 2 hours after eating lunch or dinner
- Regular walking, exercises
- Control of body weight and
serum cholesterol, blood sugar
- Addition of
proton pump inhibitor as omeprazole, anti emetic as Ondancetron with sips of water on empty stomach
- Digestive enzymes with elichi content
Discuss the need of an X-ray chest for the evaluation of breathlessness problem.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
