General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern.
I think you are suffering from hiatus hernia of oesophagus which lead to development of GERD.
Yes Bed breath may be due to this only.
Consult the surgeon and do test like barium meal and endoscopy.


But you should try followingadvice
1. Proton pump inhibitor: rabeprazole
2. NSAIDS: Aspirin
3. Propanolol
4. If not responds:
Laser surgery
Phodynaemic surgery

Avoid large meal.
Avoid oily, spicy and fatty food.
Do not sleep after meal.
Make angle of 45 degree while sleeping (Head rise position)

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
