Hello doc..My age is 39,male.I am taking telmasatin for 6-7 months. For amost 1yr I am suffering from regular stomach indigestion,infection and gas pain problem. Now my bowel evacuation is not perfect. Pl suggest what to do. I used to take ornidazole and ofloxacin which always solve my loose motion immediately on infection but very regularly i confront the same. The pain due to gas,fullness and night acidity are my immediate concern.

Hello
As you stated that you are taking anti hypertensive i.e telmisartan for just 6-7 months , while stomach related problems are for ONE year.
Usually hyper tension , anxiety , tension , stress , over eating ,untimely eating aggravates these problems , so ,if such things are there , avoid it.
While these measures may be useful for you, these are:
Try raising the head of your bed about 4 inches with blocks. It also might help to avoid eating or drinking for 2-3 hours before you lie down. To help control stomach acid and indigestion , one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolates or sweets , pizza, burger, spicy or greasy food.
Also take some antacid but if symptoms are severe ( sometimes ) , you may need drugs like pantoprazole- D , once or twice ind day ( according to necessity , normal dose is once in a day ).
As you mentioned that ofloxacin+ornidazole provide relief , so take this also but in some cases this causes indigestion so be careful.
When such cases visit I also advise to take REBAMIPIDE 200 mg twice in day for 3-6 months .
These are prescription drugs so consult a physician and get his opinion.
I find this answer helpful
