My 12 Year Old Son Was Diagnosed With Aortic Root

My 12 year old son was diagnosed with aortic root dilation (3cm). I told ped card. about the fact that he has been on prevacid for 3 years but didn't mention this was a problem. When prevacid started 3 years ago for GERD, only possible problem was calcium issue. New studies, however, show that PPI's reduce Nitric Oxide, and Nitric Oxide is important for arterial health.
