If you have reflux the doc will take a look at the linings of your esophagus and stomach to see what damage has been done then prescribe appropriately to diminish it adding diet and new sleeping attitudes to your agenda. Reflux can be addressed over time successfully but usually it is a Miltie-tiered progression.
Hey ONLY-Since there are millions of hydro chlorides to which are you referring?
first he has to stick a very large needle into Ur stomach to remove some acid to test its pH.
then he sticks a large bore tube down Ur throat into Ur stomach and suctions up some more acid to relieve the symptoms.
and finally he injects some dye into Ur stomach through Ur belly button and takes serial x-rays for over 1 hour period.
JUST KIDDING!!!
most likely he will just ask u some questions and do a physical exam and prescribe either imperialLer recommend some over-the-counter medication, assuming u have no other associated problems.
he will probably ask you to follow up in few weeks if symtpoms dont resolve.
what he does afterwards depends on if ur symptoms resolve.
The only solution doctors use today is ANTACIDS and that is very BAD SCIENCE, bad solution to the problem and completely ignores the root cause and only RELIEVES the symptoms, and creates many other problems for the body.
Antacids STOP the normal body's digestive process. Does that sound like something anyone should do? $50 billion dollars a year are spent on this garbage and drug company solution. Doctors that prescribe this junk do NOT understand how the body functions or they have some other agenda that is in their financial interest for prescribing this junk.
The problem is you have food that is not digesting, rotting, putrefying and producing lactic acid that is giving you the acid feeling. Taking an antacid will neutralize the lactic acid and make you feel better, but it also neutralizes the hydrochloric acid that is required to break down your food, so you end up getting the booby prize, feeling better, but becoming unhealthy. The solution is to take HCL from a once living source and within 3 minutes of taking that, the acid feeling goes away and it does not come back. This is because you are supporting the body's natural digestive process, not STOPPING IT ! ! !
Antacids are expensive as well. The HCL solution is inexpensive and does not need a doctor to prescribe it.
