Hello, Thanks for your query on Lybrate "As" per your clinical history is concerned take medications as prescribed by your Doctor and complete its course and follow lifestyle modifications like this - 1) Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals. Chew your food slowly and thoroughly. 2) Avoiding triggers like fatty and spicy foods, processed foods, carbonated beverages, caffeine, alcohol, and smoking etc to prevent stomach bloating. 3) Maintaining a healthy weight. Excess weights put pressure on your abdomen, pushing up your stomach and causing acid and bloating. 4) Do exercise regularly. Exercise helps you keep off extra weight and promotes better digestion. 5) Try to manage stress. Create a calm environment at mealtime. Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation or yoga. Spend time doing things you enjoy. Get plenty of sleep. 6) Try to avoid the use of painkillers and if required then you can take with pantoprazole. Hope that helps.
