Heartburn Treatment in South Delhi
Heartburn is the burning sensation behind the breastbone when stomach acid touches the food-pipe. Once in a while it is harmless; twice a week or more, it is GERD until proven otherwise. Dr Paliwal distinguishes reflux heartburn from the oesophageal spasm, hypersensitivity and cardiac causes that mimic it.
Symptoms
- Burning that rises from the stomach towards the throat
- Worse after meals, on bending or lying flat
- Sour fluid in the mouth
- Relief with antacids
See a doctor urgently if
- Severe or worsening abdominal pain
- Vomiting blood, black stool or fresh bleeding with dizziness
- Jaundice with fever
- Unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, persistent vomiting
PSRI Hospital emergency is open 24×7 — call +91 98104 55542.
Causes Dr Paliwal looks for
- Acid reflux / GERD
- Hiatus hernia
- Oesophageal hypersensitivity (a normal amount of acid, an over-sensitive oesophagus)
- Oesophageal spasm or achalasia
- Medicines such as NSAIDs, some antibiotics and bisphosphonates
Tests that settle it
Chosen for your case — never a fixed panel.
Upper GI Endoscopy
Camera examination of food-pipe, stomach and duodenum — with biopsy and treatment in the same session
How it works24-Hour pH-Impedance Study
Measures every reflux episode over a day — proves or disproves GERD
How it worksHigh-Resolution Manometry
Oesophageal and anorectal pressure studies — the definitive test for motility disorders
How it works
How it is treated
- Trial of correct acid suppression with a review date
- Endoscopy if symptoms persist or alarm features are present
- pH-impedance testing to tell true reflux from hypersensitivity — they are treated differently
- Neuromodulator therapy for hypersensitive oesophagus instead of endless PPIs
Why Dr Paliwal for heartburn
- The one clinic in South Delhi with oesophageal manometry and 24-hour pH-impedance under one roof
- Honest about what is reflux and what is not

Questions patients ask about heartburn
When is heartburn serious?
If it comes with difficulty swallowing, vomiting, weight loss, black stool, anaemia, or starts after 50 — see a gastroenterologist promptly.
Why do I still have heartburn on PPIs?
Either the dose or timing is wrong, the problem is not acid (hypersensitivity, bile reflux, spasm), or there is another cause. A pH-impedance study on medication answers this.
