Is Prilosec The Right Medicine For Heartburn?

HI, I used to have heartburn and I took Prilosec for remedy.
Recently, I have developed new symptoms. As long as I eat food I feel OK, but after 1-2 hours after meals, I feel something is stuck in my throat and when I burp several times it gets better.
What is it? Is there a home remedy?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from excess formation of intestinal gas along with acid reflux and it is leading to the symptoms of something struck in throat along with burping..
I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Upper G. I Endoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As Prilosec is a proton pump inhibitor containing active ingredient Omeprazole it is appropriate to reduce hyperacidity and acid reflux..
Along with it you should also take antacid like Milk of Magnesia before meals.
You can take Simethicone to reduce excess intestinal gas..
You should also take small frequent meals and avoid eating in bulk or taking heavy meals..
Avoid spicy food..
Take walk after meals..
Make a habit to do workout daily..
Take your dinner 2 houurs before sleeping..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
