Brief Answer:
She needs Upper GI endoscopy

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for posting in healthcare magic.

The drugs prescribed by your doctor work for acidity.

I would like to know whether she is taking corticosteroids for skin allergy?They will cause severe acidity.

Please get her an Upper GI endoscopy.

She should avoid spicy foods,carbonated drinks,caffeine products.
She should not take pain killers.

Taking frequent small feeds is good to her.
But,the probelm in her will be confirmed by investigations like Upper GI endoscopy,Ultrasound abdomen.

BP has to be under control

Hope i answered your query.

If you have any questions,i will clarify further.

Wish her good health

Brief Answer:
It could be GERD

Detailed Answer:
Hi

As ultrasound is normal,the next possiblity is Gastro esophageal reflux disease(GERD).The stomach contents will reflux into the throat and cause pain and severe discomfort.It simulates heart attack and so it is called heartburn.

Apart from Rabeprazole,i add Sucralfate with Oxetacaine syrup to my patients.

If there is no response to rabeprazole,please change to Esmoprazole with the consultation of your doctor.

Hope i answered your query

Brief Answer:
She has to change her BP tablet

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The prescribed medicines for Gastric(Stomach) problems.
They are correct.HP kit has been added for bacteria Helicobacter pylori which is the most common cause of Gastric and Duodenal ulcers.The first four medicines will not restlessness,head problems and sleeplessness.

There are many drugs with various combinations for BP control.
They have to be given according to the age,associated conditions like diabetes,heart disease etc by a Physician/Cardiologist.

AS her complaints have started after new BP tablet Amlova H,it is better to consult the cardiologist and ask for change of drug.
Please do not use assomex 2.5 mg without doctor's consultation.

Wish her speedy recovery.

We stopped her Bp medicine Amlova H and she is feeling much better now.She is feeling weakness right after the endoscopy and after starting medicines. Is the weakness due to medicines.
Further she is having complaint of choking throat and choking nose from last two years.After starting medicines after endoscopy her problem of choking throat has solved but she is having the problem of her nose getting choked.We have even consulted Ent but as such nothing has been found.Is it someway related to Heart or Pls Advice what can be reason behind this.

Please use plain Rabeprazole tablet daily.
