Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes,
GERD (
gastroesophageal reflux disease) can cause similar symptoms.
Only drugs are not effective in GERD.
You need to follow certain lifestyle modifications for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Avoid
stress and tension, be relax and calm.
4. Go for walking after meals.
5. Quit
smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
