What Causes Severe Acid Reflux And Headache?

Protonix (Pantoprazole generic) My doctor started me on this acid reflux at the end of May this year, I took the drug as directed with a 90 day supply. I started getting headaches and had a CAT scan at the local hospital which was negative, the headaches continued from morning to night. My primary doctor ordered an MRI which was negative, I saw a ENT and a neurologist doctor ordered a MRA to rule out an aneurysm which was negative. My Mail Order Pharmacist informed me of the side effects of this drug is 12.2% for headaches, after the 90 days I was off the drug and 10 days later the headaches went away. Do you have a safe replacement that is not part of the family of the related acid reflux drugs.
