How Long Is The GERD Treatment And Can Telma 40 Cause GERD?

Hello Dr. Matthew, I am 42 yr old and since last 6 months on Telma 40. Since last 3-4 days I am having some of the GERD symptons such as acid in throat, bloated tummy, inconsistent bowl motion and minor heartburn in the chest. My qs: 1.Although I am sure that lifestyle and eating habits have caused GERD..but whether Telma 40 is additing GERD? 2.I am planning to visit the physician in a day or two..but will GERD be a long term treatement? and is it fully reversible? Thx and Regds,

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM

AS YOU HAVE MENTIONED THAT YOU HAVE REFLUX DISEASE LIKE SYMPTOMS THAT HAVE OCCURED UE TO LIFE STYLE MODIFICATIONS

I SUGGEST YOU THE FOLLOWING

1) AVOID SPICY FOOD AND HOT PREPARATIONS LIKE TEA AND COFFEE..

2) USE ATLEAST 2 CUSHIONS AT BED TIME THAT WILL HELP YOU TO REDUCE THE REFLUX

3) AVOID SLEEPING WITHIN 2 HRS OF FOOD

4) AVOID JUNK FOOD AND ALSO CARBONATED BEVERAGES

REGARDING TELMA 40 AS UCH RARELY CAUSES GERD AND I DONT THINK ITS THE CAUSE OF GERD.. YOU REALLY DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT AS MAINTAINING YOUR BP TO NORMAL IS MORE IMPORTANT

I ALSO ADVISE YOU TO PERFOERM A ECG SO AS TO RULE OUT ANY UNDERLYING HEART CONDITION

HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
