Patient's question:
I've been feeling a bit nauseous for a while, and my stomach always has acid reflux, which is very painful. This afternoon, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found out that I have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I'd like to ask the doctor what are the causes of GERD?Doctor's answer:
If you frequently experience heartburn, it may indicate the presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is recommended to actively adjust your dietary habits, focusing on consuming more fruits and vegetables while minimizing spicy and irritating foods. Maintain regular and balanced meals, avoiding overeating. Additionally, you may consider taking domperidone orally to enhance gastrointestinal motility and pantoprazole orally for excretion. Gradually, the symptoms should improve.
