I'm taking Pantocid DSR every morning on an empty stomach, but my chest starts burning whenever I eat something. Sometimes I even get severe pain in my chest and back because of gas, and I feel like I might vomit. Eno helps a bit, but it's not a long-term fix. What do you recommend I do?

You can start by making some diet changes like
- Avoid oily and spicy foods.
- Avoid foods that are known to cause the problem to you.
- Instead of having 3 huge meals a day, have 5 smaller meals.
- Drink one glass of water every hour or so even if you aren't thirsty.
- Let there be at least 2 hours gap between dinner and sleep.
- Walking for about 20 minutes everyday.

View allI'm really struggling with this issue where my chest keeps getting filled with gas for the last 56 days. I've been drinking a lot of water which helps a bit, but then it just keeps happening. I'm burping all day long and last night I couldn't even sleep because it was so uncomfortable. Even when my chest isn't full, gas still forms in my stomach. Now today, my chest is actually hurting, and sometimes my neck starts to burn because of it. I'm not sure what to do; any suggestions?
You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or GERD. I recommend taking an over-the-counter medication like Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) to help relieve gas and bloating. Make sure to avoid trigger foods like spicy or acidic foods, caffeine, and carbonated beverages. Elevating your head while sleeping can also help reduce nighttime symptoms. If your symptoms persist, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been prescribed Tryptomer and I'm taking it after my evening meal, but I've started experiencing heartburn only at night since starting it. Is this a known side effect of Tryptomer? Should I be concerned or do anything about it?
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as headaches and thirst, are likely due to the high dose of Vitamin D3. Consider taking the supplements every 10-15 days instead of weekly. Also, increase your water intake to alleviate thirst and drink water before taking the supplement. To quickly recover from Vitamin D3 deficiency, maintain a balanced diet rich in Vitamin D sources (fatty fish, fortified dairy products, mushrooms). Consult your doctor for personalized advice and to monitor your Vitamin D3 levels.

The proper dosage of Sporolac DS (Sporidex) is typically 1-2 tablets twice a day, taken after meals to minimize stomach upset, and precautions include avoiding consumption with antacids,
