Hello
Smoking actually aggravate
acid reflux, though indirectly ( as few patient feel that they get relief due to smoking , this is actually misconception ).
Following measures may be useful for you to get rid off this acid reflux.
Try raising the head of your bed about 4 inches with blocks . It might also help to avoid eating or drinking for 2-3 hours before you lie down. To help control stomach acid one should not drinks with caffeine in them . Avoid greasy or spicy or oily foods , don't eat chocolates or pizza or burger or sweets .
Also take some
antacid but if you feel severe acidity you may need drugs like
proton pump inhibitors like pantaprazole -d once or twice in day till complete relief .
When such patient visit I advise them to take
rebamipide 100 mg 2 tablet twice in day for 4 weeks .
Since this is a prescription drugs , so consult your physician and get a prescription.
Over eating is the another reason of such symptoms , so please be aware about that also.
Tension and
anxiety are another most common reason of such symptoms , so be careful.
Hope these measures will be useful for you.
Good luck.
