Suggest Treatment For Severe Heartburn

I have gone to the ER for severe heartburn/acid reflux. I have done everything they asked me to do and I was taking the Maalox and Pepcid as prescribed. I am still having the issue. What else can I do to fix the problem? I just had an episode tonight (11/13/14) and I tried to eat some oatmeal. Please help. Im 29 years old and have had blood work done since I got released from jail. Could it also be that my diet has changed as well from being in 1 environment to another?

Hello
I had gone through your question and I can understand your concern
I see such patients in my clinic routinely and I will try to help you as well in best possible way

looking at your history this could be due to any of following

GERD, gastritis, acid peptic disease, this could be related to stomach hyperacidity or ACID REFLUX

in my opinion you should avoid fatty fried spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks
lead a stress free life just relax and enjoy your life
omeprazole group of drugs with antacids will definitely help you
if persists even after all this please consult a gastroenterologist for endoscopy or an scan study

Hope this addresses your question
