I've been dealing with hyperacidity and heartburn for over a year now, even after cutting out tea and cola and sticking to home food. For the last three months, I've had to rely on Pentocid 40 every morning because Zinetac doesn't work as well. While it controls the acidity, I've developed a constant cough that doesn't bring up phlegm and sometimes wheezing. I've also started snoring a lot with my mouth open, leading to dry mouth and waking up at night. I really don't want surgery or an endoscopy is there a natural way to manage this? Also, could daily Pentocid cause side effects, especially since I'm already on Telma 40 for BP? I'm a bit of a hypochondriac but not stressed, and I don't smoke or drink. Just turned 45 could age be a factor?

.try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..do regular exercises...take pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above....consult physician if symptoms persists.

View allI'm really struggling with some gastric issues that have been ongoing for about two years now. Every time I eat lunch, I experience acidity and gastric problems, and then a few minutes later I get a headache, usually on either the left or right side. I've already gone through an endoscopy and ultrasound, but both reports came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next and would really appreciate some guidance. How should I approach this?

I'm a bit concerned about my symptoms over the past few days. I started with a mild fever and took Combiflam to help me sleep. The next day, my fever got worse, so I switched to DOLO. On the third day, the fever was gone, but I began experiencing loose motions, so I took Norflox. By the fourth day, things seemed a little better, and the frequency of the motions reduced. Now, on the fifth day, the frequency is low, but my motions are still loose. Can you offer any advice on what I should do next?

I'm really worried because I haven't been able to have a bowel movement in four days. It's like the liquid stuff will come out, but none of the solid things. I even tried taking medication like Dulco, but it's just not working. What should I do?
