A member asked:

I have been taking prilosec and pepcid (famotidine) ac for 5 days because my stomach has been feeling nausea, metallic taste, and a slight burning. still the same?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dyspepsia : if symptoms have not improved, you will need to be seen and checked out for H-Pylori infection in stomach and if that is negative, then have your gallbladder checked with ultrasound and HIDA scan
