conditions such as cardiac insufficiency
and lung problems.
Studies show that 60% -70% of
patients with symptoms of heartburn
have a non-erosive disease, while about
40% have esophagitis. History is thus
very important. Including whether the
patient had heartburn in the last seven
days, whether they used some drugs for
these symptoms, and whether they had
hoarse and a chronic cough, difficulty
swallowing, or significant weight loss.
The control of acid secretion is the
most effective way to achieve relief
from heartburn and other symptoms as
well as to regulate body weight, avoid
tight clothing, avoid foods that cause
reflux, kick alcohol and caffeine, stop
smoking, and to sleep on an elevated
headboard. The goal of therapy is to
provide relief from heartburn, enabling
the longer remission, treatment of
complications and healing of esopha-gitis,
since it will thus improve the
quality of life of patients.
