I've had heartburn since February. Before that on & off, but more consistently since then. I took omeprazole which helped, but it gave me bad bloating pain & diarrhoea. So doctor gave me ranitidine. That hasn't made any difference to heartburn at all! I stopped taking after 10 days because I was getting side effects with that too - really bad ectopics & extreme tiredness. So now I'm back to gaviscon as & when. The problem is I'm getting really scared about why I still have this heartburn. I took the omeprazole for just over a month. Part of me is worried that if it's been getting steadily worse for the last year, it could be something really bad.:weep:
