Persistent heartburn and digestive issues can often be managed with lifestyle and dietary changes. Avoid foods and drinks that trigger symptoms, such as spicy, fatty, or acidic foods, caffeine, and alcohol. Eat smaller, more frequent meals and avoid lying down for at least two to three hours after eating. Maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and reducing stress through relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation can also help, especially with IBS. If symptoms persist, a doctor may prescribe antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or antispasmodics, depending on the condition. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential to prevent complications.
