Hello dear...
The symptoms as mentioned by you suggest that you might be having Gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is caused by the reflux of acid from stomach to esophagus due to relaxation of the sphincter at the lower part of esophagus.
Medical management consist of taking Proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole (which prevent acid formation in stomach)
So...the medicine suggested by your Doctor is correct...please continue taking it.
Metoclopramide can also be used but it has some side effects on long term usage.
Also avoid consuming irritating substances such as acidic & rich foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
Try to sleep on the left side, or with your upper body raised.
If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Gastroenterologist.
There is no need to worry...you will be fine.
Wish you a good health & speedy recovery.
Thanks & Take care.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
There could be possibilities of peptic ulcer disease and gastroparesis (weak gastrointestinal motility).
Presence of heart burn and vomiting signifies the diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease.
Peptic ulcer disease may be in form of chronic gastritis, fundal gastritis, nodular gastritis, follicular gastritis and gastric & duodenal ulcer and adenocarcinoma of stomach.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up & endoscopy.
You should also go for breath urea test for H. pylori infection.
Helicobacter pylori bacteria is responsible for peptic ulcer treatment and eradication is essential for complete relief.
You should take treatment for H. Pylori bacteria, if endoscopy suggests involvement of gastric mucosa.
He should take prokinetics (which increases gastrointestinal motility) along with antiemetics on written prescription.
He should take frequent small amount meals.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava

Dear Friend,
With the information provided by you, I can say that you are suffering from severe HYPERACIDITY.. Anti secretory drugs alone is not enough for you. Some change in dietary habits are also necessary. Stop hot and spicy foods. By HOT I refer to Chillies ,red and green and also pepper, I mean take only very bland food. No alcohol and no smoking. I would suggest RANTAC 150mgs BID for 15 days to start with and then review.
If you are a "worrying for nothing" type you can also take LIBRIUM 25mgms once daily. Do not operate machinary or drive vehicles while taking Librium. All the Best.......................Dr. Somanth Krishnan
