18 Year Old Having Acid Reflux. Prescribed With Apo-ranitidine. Have Heart Burn, Nausea And Chest Pain. Need To Take Medication?
I am 18 and I was prescribed Apo- Ranitidine 150 mg for acid reflux yesterday but am skeptical about taking it. I used to get heart burn on occasion and now-a-days I do not get it anymore, very rarely I get a chest pain that feels like pressure and I will burp for a bit, and sometimes when I burp I can feel throw up coming up my throat but it always goes back down. While that happens I do not have a burning sensation. Does that still sound like acid reflux? Should I take the Ranitidine?
