I've been having a lot of trouble with acidity every night around midnight, right at 24 am. It's been so hard for me to get any sleep after it happens. I always thought I was eating a normal and balanced diet, so I'm puzzled why this keeps happening. Do you have any advice on how I can stop this acidity or maybe some solutions for getting rid of it completely?

To alleviate midnight acidity (2-4 am) and promote permanent relief, try these measures: avoid lying down after dinner, elevate the head of your bed by 6-8 inches, eat a light dinner, avoid trigger foods (citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, spicy or fatty foods), incorporate alkaline-rich foods (ginger, cucumber, melons), stay hydrated, manage stress through relaxation techniques (yoga, meditation, deep breathing), and consider natural antacids like aloe vera juice, coconut water, or ginger tea before bed.

View allI've been experiencing a burning sensation in my food pipe for a few days now. My doctor advised me to get an endoscopy, and it turns out I have an H. pylori infection and some erosions. The doctor prescribed Pantocid HP for 14 days, and I'm currently on the 7th day. I'm still having that burning feeling in my food pipe and stomach. I'm curious to know how long it usually takes for patients to feel relief. Also, should I be taking the Pantocid HP before or after meals?
The treatment for Helicobacter Pylori infection can take more than 14 days. The burning sensation in your throat is a symptom of that infection, which can be manageable through use of antacid tablets and gels, such as Mucaine, Gelusil, Pantocid, or Omez. There is no fixed time after which all patients will invariably feel relief. Some patients respond faster to medication, while some require longer time durations with recalibration of medication and lifestyle modification. Pantocid tablets are to be take 15-30 minutes before food.

I'm dealing with drooling for the past few months and I've heard it might be from worms in the stomach. I've had worm issues before, so I'm concerned this might be related. How can I put an end to this problem once and for all? Also, I've noticed a big gain in weight over the past couple of years. Could these be connected? What should I do?
Drooling may be related to various causes, and its important to get an accurate diagnosis from a healthcare provider. Worm infestations are treatable with medications, but they are unlikely to be the direct cause of drooling. For weight gain, a combination of dietary changes, physical activity, and medical consultation is necessary to manage the condition effectively.
