Acid Reflux/Anxiety

Hi,

I'm a 37 year old male and had Acid Reflux for about 5 years. I had an upper GI tract endoscopy back in 2004 and was diagonised with Gastritis and acid reflux. Since then I have been taking
the medications like Nexium, Prevacid, Aciphex and currently taking Aciphex every alternate day.

Right now I'm mildly symptomatic, but if I take Aciphex every day, I'm mostly asymptomatic.I want to get off the allopathic medications because of the long term side efects, if I my
condition can be cured with homeopathy.

Can some expert please suggest what homeopathy medicine should I take for the acid reflux?

I'm generally of a little anxious nature, but since last one year my anxiety has increased because of stress, and that is also contrbuting to more acid reflux. Last year when my anxiety
increased i became more panic driven and started getting repetetive thougts in my mind. Over the time the thoughts have reduced, but I still have the anxiety.

I read on this forum that Aconitium Napellus works for Anxiety. Can I take it for the Anxiety? If yes in what dosage should I take it?

Thanks in advance,

Ravi.

Yes. arsenic alb should take care of anxiety as well as acid reflux.

Please read my posts on the Anulom Vilom Pranayam and Kapalbhati Pranayam by following the links given below. Practise these pranayams regularly for 15 minutes to half an hour preferably in a garden early in the morning.

Hi Zahid,

I have taken the first dose of arsenicum album 30c yesterday nighht, and today morning I'm having the symptoms of upset stomach. I'm feeling burning in the stomach, bloatiness and mild diarrhea symptoms.

Is this an expected result? Should I continue taking the medication?

Thanks,

Ravi.

please don't take any more doses of arsenic alb now. The remedy seems to have started working. These symptoms that you are experiencing will go away on its own. please report after 7 days. please check for Dr. Zahid if he comes with a different suggestion.

Hi Kadwa,

Thanks for your response. I forgot to mention something earlier. I have taken 4 pills of arsenicum album 30c last night.

I forgot to ask about the dosage earlier and assumed a general dosgae of 3 or 4 pills.

Is that the reason why I'm experiencing these symptoms?

Thanks,

Ravi.

Yes,Don't take any more ars dose.It is the good sign for recovery.Don't worry about that.Just wait for few days.It will be resolved within 2 to 3 days.4 pills is sufficient for you.It is not the reason to produce the present symptoms.Ars is the right choice of drug for you.That is why it recur your old,suppressed symptoms.

Hello Zahid/kadwa,

It's been a week now since I took one dose of arsenicum album 30c. The symptoms that occured immediately after I took the dose were there for a day and then went away.

I also felt my Anxiety had increased for a few days after I took the dose. I'm not sure if it was because of the medicene or because I learnt from you that ars alb had recurred my suprressed symptoms.

Now I'm feeling the way I was before I took the ars alb dose. Do you think arsenicum album is working? If yes should I take more doses of it?

Appreciate if you can advise.

Thanks,

Ravi.
