DIAGNOSIS

Differential Diagnoses

1. 1- Diagnosis, (ICD 10 code): “Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) – K27.9”.

Peptic Ulcer Disease is a disease in which ulcers or open sores occur in the stomach or duodenal lining, usually due to Helicobacter pylori infection or long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (Srivastav, et al., 2023). The symptoms on presentation are epigastric burning pain, nausea, and vomiting at times. ICD-10 code K27.9 is for an unspecified peptic ulcer with hemorrhage or perforation not specified. Although patient symptoms are characteristic of GERD, PUD is not excluded since both can produce upper GI distress and have some of the same symptoms such as epigastric pain. Since there are no alarm symptoms (e.g., weight loss, hematemesis), PUD is unlikely now.

2. 1- Diagnosis, (ICD 10 code): “Esophagitis – K20”

Esophagitis is inflammation of the esophagus, usually caused by acid reflux, infection, or drug-induced inflammation (Tageldin, et al.,2021). Symptoms can be chest pain, dysphagia, and heartburn. Code K20 is the ICD-10 code that is specifically used to indicate this condition. Esophagitis is listed as a differential because chronic acid reflux (such as in GERD) will cause inflammation of the esophagus. GERD, if left untreated, can lead to esophagitis and therefore is still a consideration.

Diagnosis

•

1. 1- Presumptive Primary Diagnosis (ICD 10 code): “Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) – K21.9” (Rogers, & Eastland, 2021)

GERD happens when stomach acid chronically flows back into the esophagus, irritating and producing symptoms of heartburn, regurgitation, and epigastric pain. GERD is usually associated with lifestyle issues such as diet, smoking, and obesity. The ICD-10 code K21.9 is for GERD without esophagitis. The diagnosis fits the patient's presenting complaint of heartburn, regurgitation, and relief with antacids, and it is the highest presumptive diagnosis (Rogers & Eastland, 2021). The presumptive diagnosis is the most likely diagnosis given the patient's history, physical exam, and preliminary findings.

Plan/Therapeutics:

1. Lifestyle Modifications:

· stop consuming those meals that cause this problem such as spicy food.

· Avoid sleeping after consuming a full meal. Eat a minimum of three hours prior to sleeping in order to allow the stomach time to digest (Jallepalli, et al., 2022)

· Refraining from taking large meals. Eating several small meals will assist the patient.

· Avoid consuming alcohol or limit the amount and smoking (Jallepalli, et al., 2022).

Medications

· The patient should Continue taking Omeprazole 20 mg daily before breakfast (Rogers, & Eastland, 2021).

· Add Famotidine 20 mg HS PRN breakthrough symptoms.

1. Follow-Up: RTC in 4 weeks for re-assessment.

Diagnostics:

· If the symptoms persists, do an upper endoscopy.

Education:

· Discussed the significance of lifestyle modifications in managing GERD.

· Discussed long-term risks of untreated GERD, including Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer.

· Provided smoking cessation resources and encouraged follow-through.
