I cannot decrease the two tablets a day my Gastroenterologist has me on. I tried to but acid reflux caused my severe vagus nerve pain so I have to stay on the Omeprazole. Some days I have so much problems that I also have to use Pepcid or Tums.

@pinkhydrangea what exactly does vagus nerve pain feel like? I have never heard of it. I have episodes of afib that may be related to the vagus nerve. Curious what you are describing.

Have you tried switching one night of Omeprazole to Pepcid? It sounds like you are stuck. The body responds to PPI's by making more acid which requires more meds and makes it impossible to stop.
