Patient's question:
From Western medicine to traditional Chinese medicine, it hasn't been effective. At night, acid reflux is easy to occur. Eating a little bit causes bloating and loss of appetite. The most severe issue is hiccups, which are quite serious. They hiccup non-stop, and it's the worst at night. They wake up ten times in one night, getting up every time to hiccup in a row. They have had stomach problems for over a year and have taken many stomach medications, but nothing works. What should they do?Doctor's answer:
Young male, recurrent acid reflux and belching, careful endoscopic examination reveals non-atrophic gastritis, and it is necessary to rule out the possibility of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Treatment suggestions include performing a 24-hour esophageal pH impedance test, taking rabeprazole enteric-coated capsules and mosapride tablets for observation. Patients facing stomach problems should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the stomach disease does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
