Is heartburn a symptom of gastritis?

Patient's question:

Heartburn and acid reflux, is this a symptom of gastritis? I didn't dare to have an endoscopy, the doctor prescribed medication, and I'm taking it now. It's working, but I don't know how long I need to take it for.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify this. You mentioned that heartburn and acid reflux are related to stomach issues, and that's correct. I suggest you eat less sugary foods, base your diet on grains, and eat until you're about 70-80% full. Avoid napping immediately after meals. You can take these two medications.
In addition to treating gastritis, it's recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
