Hi
Thank for asking to HCM, No this not because of the tab, she is taking but more or less a acid peptic problem, give her some light diet, say more alkaline diet divide her meal in two to three part, cut down coffee at bed time ( No smoking and alcohol ) give her PPI (Omeprazole 40mg) at evening time just a 40 mg for six weeks, try some sedative low dose benzodiazepine would be helpful, you even can give fruit salt drink,,, have nice day.
