Should I continue pantoprazole for persistent heartburn?

Hi , I am suffering from heartburn from last 28 days and taking pantoprazole from 16 days but still have heartburn . What should I do?

Answered on 26th Feb '25

Persistent heartburn can arise from various factors, such as diet, stress, or even certain medications. While pantoprazole is effective for many, if symptoms continue, it's essential to explore other possible causes. I recommend evaluating your dietary choices, like spicy or acidic foods, and considering lifestyle adjustments, such as avoiding late meals and elevating your head while sleeping. However, it's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist for personalized advice and further evaluation.

An individual can find the chubby substance-dissolving macromolecule in this system. It commonly breaks down between 0 to 160 units per liter when it is in a healthy person’s bloodstream.

Male | 30

You likely have gastritis, which refers to the inflammation of the stomach lining due to irritants. Gastritis can result in various symptoms including pain, bloating, and digestion difficulties. Pain that occurs below the left rib cage may also be a possible result of gas accumulated in the colon. The causes of these problems may be attributed to eating too fast, spicy foods, stress, or an infection. To improve your health, eat smaller meals, avoid spicy foods, and practice stress management.

I'm suffering from uric acid. I'm have pain in hole abdominal and right leg fingers pinching and leg pain and I'm feeling so tired

Female | 41

Abdominal pain is not generally caused by uric acid. Leg pain, finger pinching, and fatigue could have various causes unrelated to uric acid levels. If you are suffering from a long time, you should visit a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Namaste ma'am, my name is Umesh. Ma'am I have pain in my stomach and if I eat then immediately after that I get a rash in my stomach and then I start getting loose motions again and again and ma'am my weight also reduces a lot.

Male | 22

You may have a condition called food allergies. It is a case of the body reacting overly to some food items. Symptoms can be a painful stomach rash and a soft stool. Keeping a food diary is the best way to identify the specific food is causing the reaction. The food to be avoided is the one you already know as the trigger. The result of this is symptom disappearance and no more loss of mass.

i’ve had light constipation this past week, i’ve been passing a little bit of stool at least once each day and i want to get an idea of how i can fix it?

Female | 17

You have mild constipation. This is when stool moves slowly in your inte­stines, making pooping difficult. Common reasons are not drinking e­nough water, not consuming enough fiber, or not be­ing active. To fix this, drink more water. Eat fruits and ve­getables. Move your body by walking or e­xercising regularly. Constipation makes bowe­l movements difficult. Mild cases can be­ alleviated with simple life­style changes.

Male | 4

Stomach aches, headaches, and vomiting are all common indications of various types of problems, including an infection in the bladder. This disease, usually prompted by bacteria, can cause symptoms such as stomach pain and gastro. Keep track of your child’s water intake and let him/her get some rest. Among other things, remember that you can use non-prescribed drugs if it helps but, always, first consult a gastroenterologist.

Constipation and left side pain can be prevented by increasing fiber intake, proper hydration, regular exercise. If the pain continues or if it is intense, one should seek help from a medical practitioner to clarify this further.
