Resolved question:
I had three beers between 8-10. I have been struggling with insomnia and anxiety so I took a 5mg of ambien without thinking. Should I go to the hospital ?

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
The only home remedy that really works well for GERD is baking soda. It has worked well for patients, and only a spoonful of baking soda should be mixed with a glass of water, and the mixture needs to be consumed. Small frequent meals have to be taken, and tight fitting clothes should be avoided. Regular walking, and avoiding laying down immediately after food intake is also important.
Some fruits such as bananas and apple also help in controlling and preventing further GERD symptoms.
Talking about medications, a course of 2 weeks of Cap. Omeprazole 20 mg, once daily before brekafast is very effective in controlling symptoms.
Hope this was helpful,
Regards.
