Careful on the long: Be careful with the a ppi as a 19 year old man. With prolonged use, they can cause rebounding (addiction) and seem to cause osteoporosis. Try using an h1 blocker like zantac (ranitidine) or pepcid. Give it a couple of weeks and see if it resolves. If it does not, follow up with your pcp.

Protect teeth: The various symptoms associated with the acid reflux or gastric reflex disease include the bad breath and tooth erosion. The acid in the mouth especially during the night hours is exposed to tooth structures causing erosive lesion, increase in dental caries, and destruction of restorations in mouth. Also, the tongue can be damages causing loss of taste sensations, inflammation and burning pain.
