My problem is..... I take loads of different meds for CLL & IPF also for gout, diabetes and heart. They all have side effects I know, but recently I have been diagnosed with acid reflux probably due to the meds. I am being referred to gastro. I was thinking should I space meds out more ie I take 7 tablets after breakfast all at once as they need to be taken after food, but should I space them more. Even drinking water is giving me indigestion. Omeprazole made it worse, only Gaviscon extra helps but my CNS says not to take with Calquence. Until I have a gastro app I don't know what to do, it's making me really miserable. Any ideas?

Sadly, I don't have any answers. But I would say that some meds given for high blood pressure cause gout, as I found out to my cost....... unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the one that caused the problem for me....it was a long time ago....

Couple of thoughts. My hospital has a specialist Haematology pharmacist so worth checking if you have as well and mine is certainly very knowledgeable. Your local pharmacy might help but they are unlikely to have any experience with CLL drugs. Sorry about the acid reflux, I had for a while but now it’s only every couple of weeks, and at least I know I am not having a heart attack. I found deep breathing helped 🤞
