I've woken up from almost choking from gerd. take 40mg topzole but didn't work tonight :( just took another topzole. will this help? what's better?

Topzole?: I am not sure if you have taken Topzole for GERD. If this is Omeprazole, then It would not work in this kind of urgent situation. You might want to see if you can find any antacid liquids which will neutralize the stomach acid and you might feel better.

Gerd: Topzole is good medicine for acid reflux, some times it may not be enough by itself, try raniitidine an addition to the topzole. Take the topzole in the morning and ranitidine 150mg at night, Also make sure to make the life style changes Avoid spicy food, elevate head end of the bed, do not gp bed within 1/2 hr of eating. Stop smoking. If symptoms persist have you examined by physican.

GERD: You probably need to sleep with a WEDGE at 30 Degrees, eat at least 3 hours before bedtime. Avoid milk, alcoholic beverages smoking coffee. 40mg of Omeprazole once is more than enough but remember this medications does not work immediately. Take seltzer water or two regular alka-seltzer.
