Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have abdominal bloating & heaviness/ excessive flatulence/ acidic belching/ burning sensation of abdomen and chest?
If yes, then you are definitely suffering from acidity problems.
In such cases, then why you are taking Hifenac-P?
Hifenac-P contains two NSAIDs (Acelcofenac & Paracetamol) and it has been clearly mentioned in gastro books that taking 2 NSAIDs at a time predispose to development of peptic ulcer disease.
Other aspect regarding use of Hifenac-P is that it wont help in relieving your abdominal symptoms rather will increase your problems.
Acidity problem may be in form of gastritis and in severe form, may cause peptic ulcer disease with carcinomatous changes.
You should consult with physician/ gastro-physician and should go for following investigations: complete blood count, thyroid profile, serum electrolytes, blood sugar, liver function test, renal function test and ultrasound imaging.
You should also go for endoscopy and biopsy of the affected biopsy.
Most of the cases of acidity is due to H. Pylori infection. This bacteria may persist in gastric mucosa with out any harmful effects as it creates an alkaline environment around itself.
H. pylori infection may be diagnosed by biopsy, urease breath test.
Antibody test are also performed but these are not sensitive.
In hypothyroidism and diabetes, patient may have decreased intestinal mobility and present acid may harm gastric and duodenal mucosa.
You should also follow dietary changes:
1) Avoid tomatoes, citrus fruits, onion, garlic, tea, coffee, chocolates, oily and spicy foods.
2) Take soft diet (khichdi and daliya) with curd.
3) keep difference of 3 hours between meals and sleep
4) Increase physical activity
5) Wear loose clothes.
Treatment of peptic ulcer disease is entirely different and for proper diagnosis, you must go for endoscopy.
Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease includes 2 antibiotics and until unless proper treatment is taken, you can't get relief.
You should take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetics on written prescription.
Put your query if you have.
Best regards,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava

Hi Dr. Bahrgava,

I will appreciate if you could please suggest me some medicine to reduce the gastro problem.

Hi XXXXXXX
You should take Tablet Pantocid DSR twice in a day.
Tablet Lafumac at sleeping time.
Tablet Itopride 150 mg once a day.
You should consult with physician and should take these medications on written prescription.
Get well soon,
