Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing discomfort, burning sensations, and digestive irritation. When frequent, it can affect sleep, appetite, and daily comfort.
Under the care of Dr. Amit Agarwal, acid reflux is managed by understanding triggers, digestion patterns, and lifestyle factors, not just suppressing symptoms.

Common Forms of Acid Reflux:

Acid reflux may present in different ways, including:

• Occasional acidity related to food or stress
• GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) with frequent symptoms
• Night time reflux affecting sleep quality
• Silent reflux causing throat irritation without heartburn

Correct identification helps guide effective care.

Symptoms That Should Not Be Ignored:

Acid reflux may show up as:

• Burning sensation in the chest or throat
• Sour or bitter taste in the mouth
• Bloating or frequent burping
• Discomfort after meals
• Chronic cough or throat irritation

Persistent symptoms need evaluation.

A Practical, Personalised Approach:

Acid reflux is often linked to eating habits, meal timing, stress, weight, and digestion.
Dr. Amit Agarwal focuses on identifying triggers, improving digestive balance, and guiding treatment that fits daily routines.
This thoughtful approach is why many patients consult him as the best physician in Siliguri for ongoing digestive concerns.

Preventing Long-Term Irritation:

Untreated acid reflux can irritate the food pipe over time. Early care, lifestyle adjustments, and regular follow-ups help prevent complications and support digestive comfort.
