Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
You are reporting to be using omeprazole for reflux, but, still you are complaining of having the the symptoms. If you are having stomach pain or heartburn at the moment, I advise to :
- take antacids. If do not have any, take 1 glass of water and pour 1 teaspoon of soda bicarbonate (the one used for baking purposes). Within a couple of minutes,the symptoms will subside
- continue taking omeprazole but should increase the dosage. Can discuss it further with the doctor who prescribed omeprazole.
- try to eat often and small portions; chew up slowly
- avoid foods/drinks that might aggravate reflux
- raise your head from shoulders when sleeping
Hope it helped! Let me know if I can be of further help!
