Welcome to HCM!
I have gone through your question carefully and from that I feel that you have severe
gastritis and
acid reflux disease.
Most important thing to know is that it is one of the commonest problem seen in medical practice and it is well manageable condition. So, please do not worry so much, it is not required here. on worrying will only increase the acid secretion making the condition more bad.
You are on mini pill
progesterone, which you should continue. Now for acid reflux, as it is getting bad and you were advice endiscopy, I think you should get it done, once for all. I'm almost use from my clinical experince that nothing major is going to turn out in that, ok.
You can however start with antacid: like, Esmoperazole , twice a. day before meals, this will reduce acid secretion.
Had I been treating you, I would like you to follow certain dietary instruction to get well soon. I think it will help you to eat small & frequent meals.
- increase salad in your diet
- take few sips of milk ( cold milk ) every half an hour
-3 -4 serving of fruits a day
- stop all kind of oily food ( including cakes, junk food, pastries, sweets) for some time, they increase indigestion
- stop
smoking / and alcohol, if you consume them
Please start going for walks, this boosts your digestive system
I think you should get an
ultra sound abdomen and
lipid profile, liver function test done, to check if there is anything which is tretable.
Staying hungry will not help at all, it may increase acid production.
So, get the
endoscopy, USG, and start medicine. Follow diet advice & you will get rid of acid reflux!
Hope the reply is useful
