I am having acidity. Feeling inconvenient in left side chest. Eno is preferable?

Question

It is irritation of diaphragm and you may have to check up and decide on medication. Various agents have been reported to cure hiccups. Chlorpromazine appears to be the drug of choice. Haloperidol and metoclopramide have been used successfully. Several anticonvulsant agents (eg, phenytoin, valproic acid, and carbamazepine) have effectively treated intractable hiccups in typical anticonvulsant doses.

Stomach acids are necessary for the digestion of food. However, if too much acid develops in the stomach, it can cause acid reflux (heartburn) or a disease called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Obesity, pregnancy, and other medical conditions can also lead to increased stomach acid.

Management:
- Avoid fried, fatty, spicy food, chocolates, tomatoes and citrus fruits.
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals.
- Give your digestive system an assist from gravity by not eating too close to bedtime. Wait at least 3 hours after eating before you lie down.
- Lose excess weight.
- Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages.
- Stop smoking. Smoking interferes with digestion and can damage the lining of the esophagus.
- Wear loose fitting clothes. Tight waistbands compress the internal organs and may block digestion.
- Raise the head of your bed 4 or 5 inches higher than the foot.
- Get enough sleep. Try sleeping on your left side.

- Chewing your food thoroughly makes it easier to swallow and digest, thus reducing or preventing symptoms of heartburn.
- Drink plenty of water. Water has a neutral pH, which can help neutralize stomach acids and help your body absorb nutrients easily.

Medication:
Take Homoeopathic medicine ? Natrum Phos. 6X/thrice daily 1/2 an hour after the meals.
