Acid Reflux & GERD Treatment in Johor Bahru

Refluks Asid & GERD

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common digestive conditions in Malaysia, affecting people of all ages. It occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest and throat. Malaysia's diet of spicy, oily foods combined with irregular meal patterns and a sedentary lifestyle makes GERD particularly prevalent.

Symptoms of Acid Reflux & GERD

✓Burning sensation in the chest (heartburn), especially after meals
✓Sour or bitter taste in the mouth from acid rising
✓Regurgitation of food or liquid
✓Difficulty swallowing or a feeling of food stuck in the throat
✓Chronic cough, hoarseness, or sore throat
✓Worsening symptoms when lying down or bending over

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if heartburn occurs more than twice a week, is not relieved by over-the-counter antacids, is accompanied by difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, or vomiting blood. Persistent GERD left untreated can cause oesophageal damage over time.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

At Klinik Muhibbah, our doctors assess your symptoms and confirm whether acid reflux or GERD is the cause. Treatment includes proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, esomeprazole) to reduce acid production, H2 blockers for milder cases, and antacids for immediate relief. We also provide detailed dietary and lifestyle counselling — including advice on meal timing, portion sizes, and foods to avoid — for long-term management of GERD.

Prevention Tips

1Eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large ones
2Avoid eating within 2–3 hours of bedtime
3Elevate the head of your bed slightly if symptoms occur at night
4Reduce coffee, alcohol, carbonated drinks, and spicy or fatty foods
5Maintain a healthy weight — excess abdominal fat increases acid reflux
