Thanks for your question on HCM.
Smoking ice can cause GERD ( Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease ).
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter because of smoking.
Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms.
Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Avoid stress and anxiety.
4. Start proton pump inhibitor.
5. Go for walk after meals.
6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in the bed.
7. Avoid such habit of smoking ice.
