How To Treat Acid Build Up In Stomach?

Hi boss. My mum gets proscribed Omeprazole as she has problems with acid build up in her stomach, often related to anxiety. I suffer from the same, perhaps less. I have been using my mums Omeprazole after a night out drinking and it seems to be curing my hangover, is there any truth behind this?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the truth is stop taking alcohol prior to bed second PPI (Proton pump inhibitor) that is Omeprazole can only controls the acid secretion and nothing do anything with hang over if you are suffering from hyperacidity then omeprazole is drug of choice and it has to be taken at evening time, it could be co-incidence that it relieves the hang overs else is it is irrelevant as long as the pharmacology of molecule is concern hope this information helps.
