Inquiry
Deer doctor, I have acid reflux, and I dry heave when brushing my teeth, sometimes even vomiting a sour taste. When I'm hungry, I feel nauseous and have reflux, and my stomach feels burning. So, doctor, I would like to ask how to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease, which presents with retching during oral hygiene, occasional sour taste, and epigastric burning. I appreciate your consultation and response. Thank you.

Greetings! Regarding the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease presenting with retching during oral hygiene, occasional sour taste, and epigastric burning, medical advice includes changing your lifestyle, such as eating on time, avoiding spicy and sour foods, limiting gas-producing foods and drinks such as carbonated drinks, milk, orange-lemon juice, coffee, you should eat more vegetables and not lie down immediately after eating. In addition, when sleeping, you should sleep with your head elevated to avoid reflux. If the acid reflux persists, you can go to a medical facility or Vinmec Healthcare System hospitals for examination and specialized treatment to avoid dangerous complications.
