Acidity every night
Dear Dr, I'm S Raina, 32/F, Every night I'm facing acidity just when I go to sleep. Also I've observed that I'm more tired and sleep all the time. I used to live a healthy lifestyle with gym everyday but post my marriage I have not been able to workout or follow yoga. Now I feel acid burps or acidity almost every night and I've become very lazy and tired. I sleep quite a lot now. 1. Is this normal? 2. What tests can I undergo to find out any deficiency if you suspect any.? 3. Why is acidity occurring almost every night? I do not eat much spicy food as well. I prefer medium or pale food with very less spices. Kindly help.

[ ] Hi as symptoms are suggestive of gastritis.Need to follow some lifestyle changes. Take food timely. Avoid cabbage, capsicum, citrus fruits ( for a while). Don't drink water with food, take after 40 min. as much as needed thereafter. Don't lie down immediately after food. Finish night meal by 8.30 pm maximum. Go to bed after minimum 1 hour after dinner. Always keep stomach 1/4 th empty.Divide meal into 5-6 times a day. Avoid the particular food, which is being observed to cause bloating, fullness, upper abdominal pain/ discomfort, reflux symptoms etc. A good acid blocker is needed to check excess acid production. Some times in intractable cases one need to go ahead with Upper Gastroscopy to rule out gastric ulcer/erosions and presence of H PYLORI infection.Feel free to ask any further quary related to this problem.
