Suggest Remedies For Acid Reflux, Bloating And Upper Abdominal Pain
Started having acid reflux a week ago, pain has been so bad at times considered seeking medical help for pain. Tums helped at first, but now makes things more painful. Got sudden aversion to coffee and smell of coffee. Feel overly full after eating. Today started having pain in upper left side of abdomen. Sitting makes acid reflux worse, but if sit off to one side lessens acid reflux.

Hi welcome to the health care magic
You are having severe degree acid reflux...
For gastroesophageal reflux pantoprazole tablet can be prescribed for atleast two week..
But as presentation is severe it is better to consult gastroenterologist or surgeon for examination
If needed endoscopy and x ray study can be done to rule out Hiatus hernia
If with antacid symptoms not improve and if needed than surgical management needs to be done
Elevation of head while sleeping..
Avoid excess spicy foods and fatty meals
Take care
