Can Taking Zantac While On Nexium Prevent Possible Magnesium Deficiency?

Hello. I have been on nexium for about 12 months and before that, Zoton for many years for nocturnal reflux. I seem to have more aches and pains and sleep very poorly and am concerned that I may be magnesium deficient. I found taking a Zantac before I go to bed seems to work. Would this be better to prevent a magnesium deficiency?

HI
Well come to HCM
This is not the deficiency of magnesium but this is reflex disease of acid and the best drug to get rid of this is Tab Omeprazole 40 mg and Tab Domperidone 30 mg once in day for three weeks, this would be nice for the symptoms that you have, take care.
