I'm having real issues at the moment and wonder if anyone can relate.
About a month ago my chest pains got a ton worse. Awful cramping burning feelings. I could pinpoint it to a particular spot deep in my chest. The pain so reads out to the side sometimes. My gp thinks I have a hiatal hernia. He put me on omoprazole 20mg twice a day.
Things have slowly got a bit better and it's not happening so often, though today is a bad day for some reason.
I had been taking a magnesium supplement every day but now I have to take my omoprazole twice a day I am not sure whether I can take the magnesium at the same time. So I was googling to see if I could find out and came across some worrying information about omoprazole and use longer than two weeks.
I didn't want to be on these long term anyway but this has made me want to stop them sooner. Has anyone found a better cure for these problems?
Does anyone know if you can take magnesium at the same time of day as the omoprazole?
Obviously I'm going to discuss all this with my gp but I'm not due back till end of month.
I'm obviously also worried there's something more sinister going on but as I'm only mid thirties they're quick to dismiss.
