My tests, including CBC, lipid profile, liver function, thyroid, EKG, and TMT, are normal except for uric acid, which is 8 mg/dL. I have been experiencing acid reflux for quite some time without medication. What should I do next?

Have a query?

It's good that most of your tests are normal; let's address your elevated uric acid and acid reflux concerns.
Elevated Uric Acid (8 mg/dL): This level is slightly above the typical upper limit. High uric acid can increase the risk of gout and kidney stones. To manage this:
Acid Reflux: Since you have been experiencing acid reflux without medication, a combination treatment like Pantop IT Capsule (containing Pantoprazole and Itopride) may help by reducing stomach acid and improving gastric emptying. However, this should only be taken under a doctor's prescription.
Lifestyle Tips for Acid Reflux:
Given your test results and symptoms, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist who can evaluate your acid reflux and guide appropriate treatment, including whether medication like Pantop IT Capsule is suitable for you. They can also help monitor and manage your uric acid levels effectively.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you've been having acid reflux and your uric acid is a bit high. To help me understand your situation better, could you please provide your age and gender?
