In a situation like your lifestyles management plays a great role

Below are my standard tips for patients like you :

1] Avoid spicy, fermented meals
2] Do not have heavy meals
3] Avoid smoking and alcohol
4] Wear loose clothes
5] Do not stoop
6] Do not lift heavy weights
7] Raise the head end of your bed
8] If Obese lose weight
9] If under stress - Manage stress levels by meditation and exercise

Apart from this a dose of domperidone twice a day along with zegrid would help

Hope this helps

Hi

As I have mentioned earlier lifestyle modifications help a lot in Upper GI disturbances

But to manage the symptoms you need to take medicines for a longer period may be three to six months at stretch on maintenance doses

I would suggest you continue the medicines without break and once you symptoms are under control shift to maintenance doses for minimum of six weeks

Hope this clears your doubts
DO write back if you need any clarification
Wishing you a healthy life ahead
