Heartburn so bad it feels like an emergency

yes! sometimes it feels like i can’t breathe and i panic and then i burp a minute later 😂

yes!! i’ve been in that boat many times. I take omeprazole and tums as needed. Mylanta works really well by numbing. otherwise try other meds like pantoprazole, pepcid etc

I take pantoprazole and find it helps— when i miss a dose or run out I start to notice my GERD getting worse again

Yep, same here. Over time omeprazole became less and less effective for me

I can still take it, but it doesn't do much for me. Mint tends to work better for me! Mint coated acid reducers or peppermint water 💕

Yes can you ask about carafate?
