Can lowering of the dosage of Lansoprazole result in the reappearance of GERD symptoms?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

You seem to suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In such cases, I suggest a combination of tablet Rabeprazole and Levosulpiride to my patients, along with lifestyle modifications like regular exercise, yoga, and meditation.

It is not rebound hyperacidity. If you look around yourself, you will find that some kind of stress might have occupied you. Stress, poor lifestyle and lack of exercise increase the symptoms. Kindly revert for more queries.

Yes, it is related to acid reflux. Also, read about irritable bowel syndrome. Stress is linked to acid reflux, hot flashes, and anxiety.

Tablet Cimetidine, if effective, will show the effect within ten days. I really doubt it as the tablet Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) while Cimetidine is an H2 blocker. PPI shows better results than H2 blockers. But the result can vary from person to person.

I think it is just irritable bowel syndrome. The endoscopy doesn't reveal anything serious. This grade hiatus hernia is commonly seen. Few doctors advise surgery for the same. I would suggest lifestyle changes and tablet Rabeprazole and Levosulpiride.

Yes, you can do weightlifting. However, people who suffer from inguinal or abdominal hernia are advised not to do weight lifting.

During an anxiety episode, your blood pressure automatically gets high due to sympathetic stimulation. Therefore, if your blood pressure is normal while you are not anxious, then I would say you do not have blood pressure issues. I would suggest walking, yoga, and meditation.

Most of the diseases like blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol issues are mostly reversible with lifestyle changes.

I hope this helps.
