there is requirement to have covid insurance for minimum $50k for thailandpass.

You need cover to the end of your extension, so up to a year.

The last premium was 15k/year, but covered was $100k. Probably shortly they should lower this premium.

For shorter 1.5k - 2.5k per month (depending from what country you are entering). That one also covers $100k and suppose to be adjusted shortly.

Myself I will need for one year, as my extension is now being done.

I am cancelling now my health insurance and I will get one for 5mln with 300k deductible. Premium for my age 28k. It will work cheaper than buying now 15k covid.

Thanks for your answer, is this insurance can cover only for covid ?

Hi, i own for 10 years a non-immigrant visa O (thai spouse), every year i extend it at immigration office and every 90 days i have to report my address. Now i plan to go to Europe for 2 weeks for holidays. Is it true that Thai immigration could ask me a covid insurance ? How much this insurance must cover me minimum please ? Could you advice me a good one unexpensive ?

Thanks in advance !

This is a H2-receptor antagonist in  the same drug family as (and chemically related to) ranitidine.  Like PPIs (omeprazole etc), these drugs decrease the production of acid in the stomach, thus reducing the acidity of stomach contents.

 

One would not usually take it along with a PPI, but rather take one or the other class of drug.

Interesting, thanks to share !

Fatomide

 

You can sometimes buy it over the counter in Pattaya, Bangkok, etc.

 

The "Bangkok" private hospitals located all over Thailand sell them at around 5 baht a tablet.

 

You can show them this picture.

 

 

 

 

Thanks i have never heard about it

     Hello. I was diagnosed in my mid-thirties with a hiatal hernia and GERD.  I dont have the open sphincter issue though. I had an upper GI endoscopy.  Im 66 years old now.  Over the years gastroenterologist have changed up my medication because after a while they would not work as well.  For a number of years I have been using Rabeprazole 20 mg each day which has seemed to work.  Sometimes though even with the medication the GERD will act up.  But it will lessen the acid.

    I know of no syrup or rinse to protect the esophagus. It is protected with oral medication to lessen the acid production.  If the reflux is bad please be careful with this.  You dont want to develop a condition called Barrett's Esophagus.  

    How long has this been going on?  I suggest you see a gastroenterologist.  Have you discussed these issues with the doctor who has been treating you for those conditions? If you havent had an upper GI endoscopy lately you might need a follow up.  

       Also.  The medications used to treat the reflux such as Omeprazole, Nexium, Rabeprazole.  They can deplete your calcium level.  You should take a calcium supplement while using them.

     

Thanks Mate, i did 2 endoscopy already, Esomeprazole (nexium), omeprazole and Lansoprazole doesn't work for me, it's been 1 week i take Rabeprazole, i feel a bit better. Do you think probiotics can help ?

I would try it. You may still regurgitate stomach acide (which will be all the mroe acidiic for nto having food in it.).

 

Also use the pillow when reclining for any reason (i.e. reading, watching videos etc).

 

Regarding weight loss, you do not have to be overweight to benefit from it. Especially for someone with a hiatus hernia, weight loss is very helpful and the only situation where I would nto recommend it is where someone is already underweight. It is simple physics; the more mass you have in your abdominal area, the more upward pressure there is on the stomach.

 

thanks Sheryl for your advice, i will follow it, i lost 8kg in 3 months...

Are you at all overweight? As losing weight can be the single most effective thing you can do for hiatus hernia & GERD

 

Also make sure not to lie down within 2 hours of eating. And sleeping with your head up somewhat is helpful.  You can get special wedge pillow for this purpose on Lazada https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.search.1.7e0751e60fuJSp&q=wedge pillow&_keyori=ss&clickTrackInfo=textId--3437558565911396659__abId--217103__pvid--cbd0f343-066d-4e19-b0b4-e60e68140278__matchType--1__srcQuery--wedge pillow__spellQuery--wedge pillow&from=suggest_normal&sugg=wedge pillow_0_1

Hello, thanks for your advice. just one question please : if i go sleep more than 4 hours after eat, do you think i really need this kind of pillow because my stomach is supposed to be empty ?

Hello, for health issue, i need to find some very good quality honey. Anyone can advise me a good brand or seller online ?

I'm going back to Canada specifically to do this surgery. I don't trust Thai doctors and how they treat gerd.

Thanks for your answer, what kind of surgery did you do ? Did it really help ?

Hi, i have hiatal hernia, open sphincter and problems with GERD, it provokes sore throat.

Do you know any syrup or mouthwash to help with pain, anti-inflammatory and protect the esophagus ? Moreover, to treat GERD, i tried Vonopraxan, Omeprazole and Nexium. Nothing really help. Do you any other treatment please ?

Thanks a bunch
