Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux
Question: I have really bad acid reflux everyday due to anxiety. the doctor prescribed 10 mg paroxetine and propranolol 20 mg and propranolol seems like it adds to the acid reflux. Can I take a zantac or something to ease the acid reflux because its in my throat. makes me feel like something is in my throat all the time
Brief Answer:
Can take....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you are feeling heartburn and like acid is in your throat, you can take a course of Zantac for 2 weeks. I also advise to:
- eat often and small portions
- do not lay down immediately after eating
- have your dinner at least 4 hours before going to bed
- avoid spicy/chilly/oily/fried foods
- avoid carbonated/caffeinated drinks
- take antacids
If no improvement within 2 weeks, should switch to PPIs, but you need a prescription from your doctor for that.
Hope it helped!
Wish fast recovery!
