Suggest Treatment For Indigestion And Acid Reflux

Hi. I ve been dealing with terrible digestive issues for a few years, diagnosed with Acid Reflux, all tests are normal, now having terrible severe upper back pain like squeezing accompanied by burping, bloating, sweating, nausea and lump in throat. Get these attack usually in the middle of night. No gallstones from ultrasound. Also have MALS(median arcuate ligament syndrome). No one can help me, I can barely eat anything without pain, having another HIDA scan next week. Any ideas or suggestions ?

K before I suggest actually I need your age and your habits,anyway reflix is very common in almost every individual but concern is when ot happens daily so for that if your history is for morethrn 3 to 6 months ,you can get an endoscopy that wil help you to know exact problem like GERD,BARREETS esophagus or some erosions or ulcer.If any one of above is there then you need to take proton pump inhibitors for a longer period .
1.For gerd -prolong ppi use wil help u relieve symptoms.
2.if barretts esophagus-then we need to take biopsy to rule out any carcinoma.
3.if ulcer-then u need to take a hp kit for 14 days with plain ppi for other 4 weeka
4.last one is very important ,you need to avod stress,sleep properly,avoid junk and oily food ,regular jogging or walking wil definitely help you .Go and consult a gastroenterologist for further issues.Thnak you
