Been on 20mg omeprozole for 5 mo, heartburn has returned really bad. burns up to my throat. should i double the dose? what to take to soothe the pain

Need an appointment: Doubling your omperazole and/or taking antacids (e.g. Pepcid, (famotidine) zantax) may help better control your reflux symptoms. Taking omperazole on an empty stomach 30 minutes before the fist meal of the day may help it work better. Regardless, worsening symptoms after 5 months should be discussed with your doctor.
