She currently smokes 2 packs of cigarettes per day. She states that she occasionally uses OTC ranitidine up to twice daily, which temporarily relieves her symptoms. W 1. What diagnostic modalities are available for the evaluation of her GERD? 2. M.B's frequent severe symptoms continue despite OTC famotidine 20 mg orally twice daily and presence of warning signs warranted that she undergo endoscopy, which revealed moderate esophagitis and presence of esophageal strictures. What treatmen options exist for M.B? 3. M.B's symptoms resolved in about 2 weeks after starting PPI therapy, and she remained asymptomatic after 8 weeks. She then underwent endoscopy again, which revealed that oesophagus healed completely. Her primary care physician stopped the PPI. Now, 2 weeks later, she is experiencing mild heart burn. Is the patient a candidate for long term maintenance therapy?
