What causes chest infection, coughing, indigestion with pyrosis?
Patient: hi had indigestion fo years and was taking losec but after a realy bad chest infection and severe coughing, istarted with heartburn and ache that goes through to back on left side and a feeling of something moving like when your pregnant but this only happens when i sit down doc gave me lansaprole but dont seem to be helping thanks Doctor: Severe indigestion that leads to lung problems can be serious.There are more advanced treatment options for bad indigestion and reflux that include surgical procedures. You can talk to your gastroenterologist about these options. In the meantime, I would recommend that you sleep with a wedge pillow, with your torso angled up at your hips to help prevent acid from regurgitating into your airways and lungs, which can cause several major problems. If you don't have a wedge pillow, you can use something to elevate the head of the bed (like bricks under 2 corners of the bed).
