Heartburn so bad it feels like an emergency

does anyone ever have heartburn so bad it feels like you need to go to the ER? Ive had so many times where I felt I needed to go to the ER but felt like I would just waste my money because they cant do much. ): and omeprazole has made it worse over the past few weeks has anyone ever had this? I stopped taking it. It gave me severe chest pain.

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 💕

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

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

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
