  • Snapshot
    • A 50-year-old man presents to his primary care physician for his annual examination. He has a history of hypertension, managed with lifestyle modification but is otherwise healthy and not taking any medication. He reports that his only concern today is that he develops some acid reflux after eating heavy or spicy foods. This occurs especially after he lies down after a big meal. He is instructed to use an over-the-counter antacid, such as calcium carbonate, as needed.
