Seeking alternative treatment for GERD

Hello. I been taking pantoprazole for about two months, but I have been having bad side effects like chest pain, anxiety, and dry mouth. Is there an alternative for treatment ? Anything natural that helps? Thanks!

I was switched to Rabeprazole. So far so good!

Nexium might help. As for natural supplements, a mix of chia seeds and flax seeds soaked in water for a few minutes really helps me rein in my GERD. Also, you may try slippery elm and marshmallow root powder in warm water.

My doctor switched me to famotadine, generic for Pepcid and it works just as well with no dice effects on my end (:

I would ask your Dr. about pepcid. Also, as silly as it sounds, do some really relaxing breathes for a few minutes when you first get that chest pain 🤗 I'm always pleasantly surprised
