A member asked:
Infrequent heartburn for about a year. started prilosec otc and now im fine. should i have an endoscopy to check for barretts esophagus or no? im 25
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not yet: Barretts is an uncommon complication. it takes more than 10-20 years to develop. So you do not need to worry about it right now or until later in life..... if your symptoms are difficult to control with prilosec. For now take Prilosec either daily(for 6-8 weeks and then as needed which may be every other day or only if your stomach feels 'acidic'

I have had bad heartburn and GERD for about a month now. Was on Prilosec for 2 weeks, stopped. Smoked for 2 days after, felt abdomen pain and esophagus restriction, etc. No longer smoking. And more heartburn. Hiatal hernia maybe? Does it heal itself?
Seeing as i take prilosec daily for my GERD(and now i NEVER get acid reflux) this should prevent my gerd from ever developing to barretts esophagus?
GI doctor says I have esophagitis upper esophagus. GERD related. Was on Prilosec for 1 month. Now on Nexium for 3 months. Doesn't explain swollen back of neck. GI agrees non-related. Posterior Cervical region. Lymph Nodes? Any suggestions?
25 year old, infrequent heartburn but now that i take prilosec its gone. One doctor on here says no endoscopy and other says yes. So whos right?
