Heartburn: If your heartburn symptoms are worst at night, switching your medication from am to pm is reasonable, as is increasing dose. Work w/your family doc to consider all options. Consider leaving more time btwn dinner & bedtime so that you can get food to pass through more quickly. Discuss your options w/your GI doc since you're also managing your barrett's esophagus.
