Rock and a hard place

[Asherleymoco]

I take Omeprazole 10mg daily.

When I don’t take it the acid is painful and so sickening. When I do I get back pain headaches dry mouth and my chest vibrates during the night which wakes me up.

Any one have any advice or has anyone suffered the same thing?

You need to take something for acid reflux so ask Ur doctor to give u something else, esomeprazole or lansoprazole, hope that helps

The only PPI I got on with was Nexium (esomeprazole). They try you on the cheaper PPIs first to see if you get on with them. Nexium is more expensive.

I took Lanzoprazole for 2 years and thought it was brilliant. Then it gradually stopped working so I changed to Omeprazole. That worked for 3 weeks but then I got ghastly stomach & gut pains - so bad that it went to my back also, so I had to seek a change. Was then prescribed Esomeprazole which I have been on for the past 3 weeks. So far that seems fine.
