Q. I often have heartburn. What can I do?
Hello doctor,
I am suffering from heartburn, chest pain, nausea, and breathlessness. I got done 2D echo, ECG, vitamins D levels, endoscopy, and blood tests. All the reports are normal.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There are several things you can do to prevent an episode of heartburn like:
- Avoid alcohol. Normally alcohol in moderation is well tolerated by many, but for people prone to acidity, even a small amount of alcohol can cause discomfort.
- Avoid smoking. The nicotine in tobacco affects the opening and closing of the food pipe, allowing back flow of the stomach acid into the food pipe.
- Eat small meals. Instead of three big meals, have five small meals every 3 to 4 hours, and eat slowly.
- Do not sleep on a full stomach. Try to have an early dinner. Make sure there is a gap of three hours between your last meal and bed time.
- Wear loose-fitting clothes.
- Avoid certain known foods which cause acidity like, coffee, tea, cola, citrus fruits, oily and spicy food.
- If your weight is high, losing a few kilos will reduce acidity too.
- Have a gap of two hours between exercise and meals.
- Drink at least three liters of water every day.
- Try meditation and yoga to minimize daily stress.
- I suggets you take tablet Rekool D once daily at 8 am.
Hope this helps.
