Hello
Thanks for your query.
Probably you are suffering from gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). For this you need to take pantoprazole 40 mg tablet twice daily before food for at least 6 weeks. Otherwise symptoms will recur again. Along with this you need to have some life style modifications like avoidance of smoking, alcohol, fatty, spicy and fast food, tea and coffee, plenty of water to take around 3-4 liter daily, small but frequent bland diet intake and head end elevation during sleep. I think you will be benefited with all these.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dr Arnab Maji
