Patient history
The take of the patient history is most important, fundamental and essential for successful management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Therefore I will take 50-60 min to learn the type and qualities (duration, severity) of your reflux (GERD) symptoms: heartburn, acid regurgitation, gastric pain, vomiting etc., their sensitivity to medical therapy (acid neutralisers, gastric acid inhibitors, proton pump inhibitor; PPI) and the correlation of the symptoms to the consumption of specific foods and beverages (sweeties, juices etc.).
