if you age>55; then fix an appointment for having an endoscopic examination.
if agei recommend to:
1. have a H.plori test ( Urea Breath Test - UBT) . If results are positive , you may need follow the eradication therapy 2. use a proton pump inhibitor ( omeprazole, pantoprazole) before breakfast for atleast one month. 3. avoid fat meals and use less salt 4. eat fresh fruits 5. eat dinner atleast 3 hours before going to bed 6. include plain yogurt in your meals 7. loose weight if overweight or obese 8. Avoid alcohol for atleast 2 to 4 weeks ( until medication being used) If you quit it completely, that would benefit alot
Hope to answer your concern.
Wish you good and sound health.
