I have had a terrible night. I have just started Omeprazole (twice a day initially) for reflux which has plagued me on and off for years but worsened over the last few months so it is now a daily problem.
I can see a little improvement in some ways. I am not belching so much or regurgitating so much. I have only been on the tablets since Monday and the day before yesterday, things were improving so much I decided to eat normally again although kept the meals smaller with less fat than normal.
I am suffering real bad again. Worse in fact. I never really had heartburn before but I thought I was having a heart attack last night with the pain and burning in my chest. I tried to get a little sleep being propped up but I couldn't lay certain ways for the pain (also in my throat) and this morning my throat sounds hoarse and I am a bit wheezy. (I do not smoke and no asthma). The questions that I need answers to are:
Is this chest pain common with reflux or could it be unrelated?
Shouldn't the tablets be working by now? This is day 5!!
When should I go back to my Doctors?
If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it. I should be busy doing things with my kids but I am just not feeling well. My head feels like it is in a clamp today....all tight and achy.
Thanks xx
