I have acid reflux. What can I do to make it feel better until I see the doctor on Monday?!
Question: I have acid reflux.. What can I do to make it feel better until I see the doctor on Monday.?
I started having acid reflux a month ago.. The doctor prescribed me Protonix and it didn't work.. Then Prevacid which DID work but I think the dosage was just too small, and it came back within a week.. I have to wait till Monday to see the doctor so what can I do till then to ease my symptoms.? Any over the counter meds.? Pepcid doesn't really work for me..
My symptoms are pain/discomfort in upper abdominal pain, sour taste in mouth, extreme belching..Health Question & Answer

Oh gosh I can totally sympathize with you 100%.. Acid reflux is the worst and the heartburn is massive!
I learned that by taking things that have calcium in them only seem to aggravate the problem even more.. It doesn't seem to neutralize the acid in your stomach..
I was really desperate one day and decided to take a small "swig" of white vinegar.. Believe it or not it really worked.. But it hurt like a boar going down.. The acid from the vinegar seemed to neutralize the acid in my stomach.. Just if you do this don't drink more than about two tablespoons..
also something else that works is Alka-Seltzer.. That helps a lot and seems to give relief pretty soon after taking them.. Yeah those things are nasty but if you are like me you would be willing to lose a toe in order to get to feeling better..
I hope you get to feeling better okay.? And good luck at the doctor.. :)Health Question & Answer

I too experienced reflux.. It is uncomfortable so my doctor reccommended bicodol, which you don't need a prescription for (UK).. My aunt also reccomended me to try bicarbonate of soda which really helped..
