Sometimes when i get nervous i get acid reflux or heart burn. how can i treat this and prevent it in the future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prilosec(omeprazole): Mental anguish shown to be associated with increased gastric acid secretion. If you are going to sleep with a good deal of mental stress take an acid reducer at least an hour before and this may help. Omeprazole is the generic of Prilosec. If this happens frequently, get Magnesium Oxide as a supplement & take 250mgs a few times a week, providing your kidney funct is NL (serum BUN & Creatinine)
