How Can Acid Reflux Be Treated?
Have been having heavy heartburn for four days with no OTC drugs working. Made an appointment at the doctors and they did an ekg. It read moderate right precordial repolarization disturbance consider feminine pattern negative t in v3 with small negative t in v2. All I know is that it was abnormal but she didn’t explain anything. She had me get blood work done to see if I had some clotting as I did not have an ulcer. Should I be worried about the results?

Hello,
No, you don't have to be worried more about ECG. Since it is common finding and blood tests cannot be said will be abnormal.
All this just can be due to acid reflux for which you need change your lifestyle like after eating meals don't go to sleep 2 hours before.
Always sleep in head end elevation position, take gastric tablets before a meal to subside gastritis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
