Prescribed Prilosec For Stomach Issues But Symptoms Returned. How To Treat It?
Hello, I have been having issues with my stomach for the past month. Last week I was prescribed prilosec and for the first few days this was doing the trick. However, now my symptoms are back (mainly aching/empty stomach feeling, tightness of throat, nausea). What is the next step?

Hi.
This means Prilosec was helping you.
The best way in such cases is to go an Upper GI Endoscopy to confirm or rule out ulcer and related problems.
Continue Prilosec and other medicines as may be prescribed by your Gastro Doctor.
Additionally I would advise to go for bland diet, frequent meals, avoid anything which increases you symptoms, Liquid antacid, a good sleep and a stress-free life ( most difficult)
