Acidity / GERD Care
Relief from Acidity and Reflux Starts Here
GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and chronic acidity are among the most common digestive concerns. These conditions may cause burning chest pain, acid regurgitation, bloating, or difficulty swallowing. GERD occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the oesophagus, leading to irritation and discomfort.
Diagnosis:
- High Resolution Endoscopy
- Oesophageal pH monitoring
- H. Pylori testing
Comprehensive care
- Medication-based acid suppression therapy
- Dietary and lifestyle modifications
- Minimally invasive anti-reflux procedures
- Prevention of Barrett’s Oesophagus or esophageal ulcers.

FAQs
Are heartburn and acidity the same thing?
Not exactly. Acidity refers to excess stomach acid, while heartburn is the burning sensation that occurs when that acid irritates the oesophagus.
What is a hiatus hernia?
A hiatus hernia happens when part of the stomach moves up through the diaphragm into the chest. It doesn’t always cause symptoms, but it can make reflux worse.
How is GERD treated?
Treatment usually begins with acid-suppressing medicines and lifestyle changes. If symptoms continue, minimally invasive anti-reflux procedures may be recommended.
How can I reduce night-time reflux?
Have an early, light dinner, avoid lying down soon after eating, and raise the head of your bed. Sleeping on your left side often helps too.
Does H. pylori cause reflux?
Not directly. H. pylori is more commonly linked to ulcers, but treating it can improve overall digestive health and relieve overlapping symptoms.
When is a procedure considered?
If symptoms persist despite medicines and lifestyle changes, or if there’s severe regurgitation, oesophagitis, or a large hiatus hernia, a minimally invasive procedure may be advised.
