Hi, thanks for using health care magic
Pantoprazole is used for gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer disease.
You can try some of the lifestyle changes to see if they will help you, these include: eating small meals, avoiding fatty or fried food, avoiding citrus or acidic foods, wait at least 2 hrs before laying down after eating, lose weight if there is any excess weight, elevate the head of the bed.
I hope this helps
