What to do if you have excessive stomach acid and vomit acid

I believe many people have experienced vomiting acid due to excessive stomach acid. Some of them happen occasionally, while others are due to the recurrence of diseases. For example, many gastrointestinal diseases have this characteristic. The accidental occurrence has a lot to do with diet, mental factors, etc. If you often have excessive stomach acid, the impact will be greater, and the solution is what patients are most concerned about. So, what should you do if you have too much stomach acid and vomit acid?

The most important thing about this disease at present is how to make a correct diagnosis and appropriate drug treatment. Its possible complications, such as esophageal ulcers, lower esophageal stenosis or tumors, need to be closely monitored. 1. Drug treatment (1) Use of antacids and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). (2) Antacids are divided into the following categories according to their effects: ① Absorbable antacids: such as sodium bicarbonate. ② Non-absorbable antacids: such as calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, aluminum hydroxide (tablets or gel), magnesium trisilicate, etc. Liquid or powder antacids are more effective than tablets. If tablets are used, they should be chewed before swallowing. When using antacids to neutralize stomach acid, you should pay attention to increasing the frequency of medication. You cannot rely on increasing the dosage of the drug. Generally, take it once 1 hour and 3 hours after each meal and once before bedtime, for a total of 7 times a day. The duration of antacid treatment should not be less than 3 months. Inorganic weak alkaline substances can neutralize excess gastric acid, reduce the ability of pepsin to break down gastric wall protein, weaken or eliminate the corrosive and irritating effects of gastric acid on the surface of gastric and duodenal ulcers, and promote the healing of the ulcer surface. The goal of acid-free therapy is to allow the ulcer to heal completely, which usually takes 8 weeks. Symptoms often disappear long before the ulcer has completely healed. Therefore, the disappearance of symptoms should never be used as a criterion for stopping antacid therapy. Otherwise, symptoms will return quickly, which is actually a worsening of the original ulcer rather than a recurrence of the disease. The duration of antacid therapy should not be less than 3 months.
