Am having a bad reflux day. I have really suffered with chest pain today but because I had accompanied throat pain and belching I am going to assume it is related to reflux. If I don't I will go into panic mode and fret about my Heart so I am trying to convince myself it really is reflux.
My question relates to Omeprazole. I started on 2 x 20mg per day but reduced it to 20mg as I thought I was having side effects. The good news is symptoms reduced. They didn't completely vanish but they reduced so much I decided to drink some alcohol at the weekend, a few glasses of champagne last night (because it was free!! :)) and have eaten chocolate daily that my lovely kiddies bought me for Mother's day! Oh, and had the odd packet of crisps too. All the foods and drink that I started to avoid. I seemed to get away with it and others have said since taking Omeprazole they can eat what they like but it appears not.
I am now worrying if I have done more damage by falling off the wagon or if it is something more serious because the Omeprazole are no longer working.
Does anyone out there take Omeprazole and have relapses with their symptoms if they eat or drink something they should be avoiding or should I not be getting these symptoms whilst taking Omeprazole?
I just need to know if this will get better again or if I have damaged myself and the Omeprazole will not work anymore.
