Q: i stopped carafate after 10 weeks of taking it, now i'm taking protonix started 4 days ago, but i'm feeling awful, i have heartburn, chest pain and pressure, sour taste in mouth, stomach ache and dizziness. how long before feeling better?

: Should be quick. Also I recommend putting head of bed legs up on 4 or 8" blocks as gravity never sleeps. Should help immediately if you have a problem at night. Give it a try. Your body is talking to you. Listen and take good notes. Find out what have been going on eating/drinking before you have problems what makes it better. Discuss diary with Dr &amp; you will figure it out.
