My sister had esophageal varices and was in ICU. If you abstain from drinking you shouldn't have any more blood vessels rupture. So just don't drink. My sister doesn't drink anymore and she eats healthy. Good luck to you..God Bless.
I have esophageal varices and had to have banding done twice first time they had to do one banding and the next two banding. T he doctor put me on nadolol and amlodipine. The doctor said as long as I keep my blood pressure normal I shouldn't have any problem. I hope this help.

I do not have this condition, but I was wondering if your doc had ruled out portal hypertension? Are you also abstaining from alcohol (sorry for being personal)?
