Tell me your experience using a short course of OTC omeprazole for heartburn? I'm eating 2-4 antacids in a day, so not an insane number, but 1-2 at bedtime has become more in the last we'll-call-it-three weeks, and it occurs to me it might be worth upgrading until I can get a better handle on stress/anxiety.
And, of course, I hold any respondants harmless for any actions I may or may not take based on you sharing your own feedback!
Thx
@CLManussier any reason why you don’t prefer Pepcid/Famotidine? Famotidine is usually the recommended first line of defense for intermittent bouts of heartburn.
Mostly that everyone in my orbit seems to be on panto- or omeprazole. Where my mind went first. My hubs used to take Famotidine until Doc put him on p'prazole.
@CLManussier
This site has some decent info including a pros and cons list. But when in doubt ask your PCP.

@CLManussier I take famotidine 10-20 mg (I take the higher dose if I know I’m going to have something that’s going to aggravate the reflux.) 30 min before breakfast and before bed. And I rarely need Tums or rolaids. The famotidine is enough.
