Why is there bloating and a feeling of food stuck in the chest in a patient with GERD?

Question

Hi doctor,

What is the best medicine for GERD? I have been taking Pantoprazole for almost seven years. And now, I am always bloated. I feel my food stuck in my chest, and it is heavy when I lie down. Can you help me?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am very sorry about your medical condition.

Do not worry. I am here to take care of you.

Regarding your symptoms and diagnosis of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) with no improvement with Pantoprazole, please take the following:

1. Tablet Erythromycin 500 mg orally twice a day.

2. Syrup Gaviscon (sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate) 20 mL orally twice a day.

3. Tablet Ranitidine 300 mg orally twice a day.

Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. If your symptoms persist, schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.

Thanks for using icliniq, and have a nice day.

Regards.
