Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Scare of taking: pills in general? Scared to take pills for heartburn? Scared that taking pills will give you heartburn? If you have a general issue with taking pills consult with your pharmacist regarding options (liquid solutions, injections, melting discs, sublingual, capsules, tablets, patches, etc).
