Watusi Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That should take care of the reflux. It keeps your stomach from producing as much acid. It sometimes can create some stomach discomfort because of the change in digestion but it is worth it. I used to have some reflux issues and when I started taking Prilosec it completely changed my life. Good luck, I hope you feel better soon.

SportsGuy41017 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 As I said, this is about the only thing that scares me, as it happens here and there, but most of the time when it wakes me up it only takes me a few seconds to get my breath back. But at times, like 2 hrs ago, I have this tremendous heat feeling in my throat, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflux is a scary thing and can do permanent damage. I remember back when I could eat anything I wanted, even spicy foods and after 8pm :eek: lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jericho Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 While I'm here waiting. This has nothing to do with me, but did the US have it's first possible case of Ebola yesterday! I thought we had one already! Just saw where you were in hospital. My prayers are with you and hope you get a lot better and hopefully the hospital and Drs can fix the acid reflux problem. Ebola at the hospital, great, now I sure aint coming to see you. hahahaha I'll send some others instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75center Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Good luck, that is the worst feeling in the world when those episodes hit! Been on Nexium for it for 10 years or so, lifesaver for me. Hope whatever he puts you on takes care of it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
