This medical tracking tool helps you record symptoms, identify trigger foods, and monitor medication effectiveness through systematic logging and pattern analysis. COMPREHENSIVE SYMPTOM TRACKING Record heartburn episodes with severity levels, duration, and custom notes. Track additional GERD symptoms including nausea, coughing, and regurgitation.

Record meal sizes, food categories (spicy, acidic, fatty), caffeine intake, and alcohol consumption. Track eating patterns such as late meals and proximity to bedtime. The app provides statistical analysis to help recognise correlations between diet and symptoms. MEDICATION MONITORING Document all GERD medications including PPIs, H2 blockers, and antacids. Record dosage, timing, and your personal assessment of effectiveness. Track which medications provide relief and which do not, creating a practical record for medical consultations. STRESS AND LIFESTYLE FACTORS Monitor stress levels and their potential impact on reflux symptoms. Record stress sources and intensity to understand psychological triggers alongside dietary factors.
