Hi I am diagonised as having GERD Grade1 and Hiatus Hernia Present. I have been asked to take  Levogastrol tablet. Inspite of taking it I am getting severe chest pain and some times the gas instead of coming out is getting struck in the chest. Can you please advice.
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... You have acid reflux because of hiatus hernia..... This can lead chest discomfort...... Follow below advise.....-head elevation while sleeping by putting two pillows under head-avoid precipitating posture like bending, stopping forward etc...-avoid heavy fatty meal -no food or Chat Doctor. .-fruits more -avoid coffee, pastries etc. that can relax Loathe levosulpride you are using can be taken in acid reflux... But if acidity more take omeprazole like capsule which is strong antacid.... Avoid stress and gas forming foods like onion, cabbage, cauliflower, turnip etc.as you have gas problem also. More water..... If still life compromised more from hiatus hernia surgical repair can be done ... Take care
