Hi,
Thanks for posting the query on XXXXXXX
After going through your query, I would like to comment the following:
1. You seem to be suffering from allergic rhinitis with ? asthma.
2. You need to get yourself evaluated from a pulmonologist in detail.
3. Investigations required are chest xray pa view, pulmonary function test (spirometry with reversibility) and serum IgE levels.
4. Associated GERD does aggravate the symptoms and may be the precipitating cause. This can be confirmed on oesophagoscopy by a gastroenterologist but is seldom required. Since you are on pantocid, it should care of the symptoms.
4. The medications seem to be sufficient but an inhaler seems to be requires considering your chest symptoms. Offcourse the decision will be guided by your investigations and clinical profile as mentioned above.
5. Avoid spicy diet, cold food, carbonated beverages, ice creams, etc. Do not stay empty stomach for more than 4 hours.
I hope I have answered your query. I will be glad to answer follow up queries if any.
Please accept my answer if you have no follow up queries.
