Dr. Geethika Nutakki specializes in managing GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), offering comprehensive care at Amara Clinics. She combines lifestyle modifications, dietary recommendations, and medications to address heartburn and reflux symptoms. With her patient-focused approach, Dr. Nutakki helps improve long-term digestive health and ensures relief from GERD complications.
GERD symptoms include frequent heartburn, chest pain, regurgitation of food or acid, difficulty swallowing, sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent cough. Individuals may also experience a bitter taste in the mouth, bloating, or nausea. GERD symptoms often worsen after eating or when lying down. If untreated, it can lead to esophageal damage and discomfort.
Treatment for GERD involves medications such as antacids, H2 blockers, or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to reduce stomach acid. Lifestyle changes, like avoiding trigger foods, losing weight, and elevating the head of the bed, are also recommended. In some cases, surgery such as fundoplication may be considered for severe symptoms. Dr. Geethika Nutakki customizes the treatment plan based on individual symptoms and severity to ensure effective relief.
