I took a course of the 14 day Prilosec treatment for Heartburn?
2Question : I took a course of the 14 day Prilosec treatment for Heartburn?
about a month ago and it helped. The heartburn actually went away. Until now. Do I need to see a G.I. doctor or should i just get another OTC treatment?
I am 27f and this is the 3rd time that it has acted up. It is interfering with my workouts(running/jogging). But, is it just something that people normally live with and treat on their own?
What are the chances that it is something more serious than just heartburn?
Sorry for so many questions.

Your probably suffering from GERD, Gastroesophageal reflux disease
a condition that affects millions of people, and can cause significant health problems. GERD is commonly clinically referred to as acid reflux disease
You should see you DR. right away and tell him/her you think you have this. Basically there is muscle in the lower esophagus that won’t stay closed, allowing acids in to the esophagus. Over time these acids can do permanent damage. The muscle is called the LES, lower esophageal sphincter.
See you Dr., you’ll be fine.

What is the difference (utilization, efficiency, etc.) between Prilosec and Aciphex?

I used to use Aciphex 2-3 times a month to esophitis heart and burn control, but I had to switch from Prilosec to insurance reasons. I wonder if I should use them differently? I used to take Aciphex, if I feel ‘probably did not, and it worked well. Do I need to do the same with Prilosec? Or I take it regularly weather or not I have heartburn?
