@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.

Have you ever had the dentist hit a nerve when working on a tooth? It feels like that but pain is worse and I will have continued pain for up to 5 minutes. My Gastroenterologist says for me when I have acid reflux that my esophagus is vibrating so hard that it causes pain on my vagus nerve. This is a rare side effect of acid reflux but that is problem I have if this happens.
