Firstly, this will appear rant-ish. So rant alert.

The main topic here is GERD / silent reflux / Gastropraisis.

Summary:

Now, what happened was i went to see a GI specialist in sjmc, and the doc just simply prescribe me a PPI, motilium and gaviscon. At first he said he might do a scope, but said "why not you take this first for 1 month and come back to me if your symptom doesn't improve". Hurriedly shoo me away so he can have his lunch.

The long:

I have been having silent reflux, although just sour taste in my mouth for 2 months+ and i sendiri took PPI already. For 7 days once a day, i took it, and felt like nothing much improve. We all know all too well, sometimes it happens for a short time and my imeediate thought was just see if the meds can cure it. Nope.

Then i suddenly felt hard to eat more than few bites, went see a clinic doc and doc referred to a GI in sjmc. I no choice, went there as well, waited for 2 hours+ just so i can see the doc, and more time just for the meds to dispense.

So the doc just simply check, didn't ask much question, ignored me telling him i took PPI and antacid already, and simply just said "you may have GERD, takes out a piece of paper that has pictures and said, you cant take this, and eat more of this, and bla bla. And i said, i don't eat or do any of the NO, and i eat all the YES, but he continued to ignore me,  and said i'll give you these meds, take it 1 month and and if symptom no improve come back to me.

I have my parent helped me do some of the things because i'm physically not able to. Then when finish everything and they showed me the meds, i was super duper mad. The doc gave me Rabeprazole, which when i look at it i know edi, this is like the most expensive PPI of all the PPI out there and he gave me gaviscon which i said i already have.

Anyway, if i'm feeling more frus, i'll update with more of my rant.
