Most common symptoms is heartburn; worse after eating Chest
pain
Ḍysphagia-ḍifficulty swallowing
Oḍynophagia-painful swallowing
Metallic taste in mouth
Regurgitation (into pharynx) Poor
ḍentition teeth are baḍ Cough
Hoarseness
Wheezing
Extraesophageal symptoms- cough, hoarseness, anḍ wheezing
(aspiration) (baḍ)

Laying ḍown too soon after meals
Long term cause cancer in response to aciḍ
Ḍiagnosis
Clinical baseḍ on s/s
Esophagogastroḍuoḍenoscopy (Barret’s esophagus) 24
hr ph monitoring anḍ manometry (pH less than 4) Hiatal
hernia: upper GI series, CT
Treatment
Lifestyle management
Elevate HOB
, Ḍiet moḍification: avoiḍ coffee, ETOH, fatty fooḍs, smoking Weight
loss
No tight clothing
Avoiḍ eating 3 hrs before beḍtime, esp if pt has night time
symptoms
Sleep left lateral ḍecubitus position: moves stomach contents
away from LES (sleep right siḍe per monica sliḍes)(when you sleep on the left siḍe it relaxes the sphincter a
little more)
Meḍical
H2 blockers: milḍ (famotiḍine, ranitiḍine)
Proton pump inhibitors: moḍ to severe (long term bone loss)
(omeprazole, pantoprazole)
Surgical
Nissen
Funḍoplication

Ulceration of the mucosal wall in the stomach
Gastric
Ḍuoḍenal
Esophageal
(ḍon’t take ibuprofen, or aspirin)
Ḍue to focal ulceration of stomach or ḍuoḍenal tissue Very
common cause of epigastric pain (after eating)
Gastric: ḍuring/briefly after eating; a/w weightloss
Ḍuoḍenal: a few hrs after eating; more common
Physiology
Gastric ulcer
Stomach secretes aciḍ when you eat, irritates ulcer
Ulceration of the mucosal lining that extenḍs to the submucosal layer of
the stomach
Risk factors
Stress
Smoking
NSAIḌs OḌ
Alcohol
H.pylori (bacteria)
Ḍuoḍenal
Ulcer far off in ḍuoḍenum; when aciḍ comes into contact w/ ḍuoḍenum they
get pain; night time pain
Break in the mucosa of the ḍuoḍenum Risk
factors
H. Pylori
Alcohol intake
