Suggest Treatment For Severe Heartburn In A COPD Patient

I have COPD and was admitted to a rehab facility. My O2 stats are fine. I am on Oxygen and I do not have any swelling. My problem is I have horrbile heartburn and I am unable to eat or drink, all I can do is take a few bites or a few sips and then I spit up. My bowels work fine. I can no longer walk or feel like I even want to. Every time I do I get sick. This has been going on Since Thanksgiving.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would like to advise that you can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg along with Domperidone 30 mg for relief from your symptoms.
Also avoid spicy and oily foods. Avoid being empty stomach for long periods.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
