Will increasing zoloft dosage cause anxiety?
human
I am experiencing acid reflux which I never had it before even before the HPlyori was confirmed. I am on the 5th day of Nexium ph7. It was started from the 3rd night. Last night, I need to sleep at a sit up position to avoid the reflux. Should I go back to the doctor?

Hi there.Thanks for writing in.I don't think right now there is a need to visit the doctor at this stage. Continue the medication as advised by your treating physician.Do try to follow other measures like:1. Avoid oily, spicy, fatty food.2. Avoid carbonated beverages, tea, coffee, smoking and alcohol.3. Regular exercise 30 minutes a day 5 days a week.4. Avoid lying down immediately after having a meal. Wait for at least 2 -3 hours after your meal before lying down.5. Wait for 2-3 hours after meal before exercising.6. Drink warm water at regular intervals.If symptoms still persist in spite of medication and above mentioned measures, do visit your doctor.Hope this answer was helpful to you.
