A member asked:
Does taking xifaxan for sibo exacerbate acid reflux? will taking h2 blocker or ppi reduce the effectiveness of xifaxan? what else could cause severe epigastric pain radiating to upper back & shoulder blades that wakes me up every night for past 2wks?

Unlikely & unlikely: check your heart, it might be coronary spasm or a coronary arteries problem, before considering other diagnoses, wish you well
