Silent reflux and famotidine

I was taking it at night. My gastro dr told me to stay away from it once he heard it gave me heart palpitations so now I’m just on omeprazole.

It didn't give me palpitations. Glad you found an alternative. Good luck!

I realize the palpitations are an individual response. I was fortunate & didn't get them.

How did you raise the head of your bed??

We have a rise we bought for our bed when we got a new mattress. It has a remote. You can raise the bottom of your bed, too, if you need to elevate your feet. They are really nice.

Thank you, but I am not about to buy a new mattress, so if anyone knows how to raise a regular, old-fashioned, double-bed mattress, please share!

You can put blocks under front legs of bed to raise 6 inches. If your bed has wood slats you can add additional slats on top of each other to raise head of bed 6 inches. There are also triangular wedge foam pillows sold online that will raise your upper body. Also don’t sleep on your right side.

Thank you!

You can put wood blocks under the front bedposts to raise the head of your bed. You can add height also if your bed has slats under box springs…you can raise top of mattress by raising height of those slats. I bough a foam riser for reflux on line….its like a triangular foam riser.

I bought a pretty inexpensive, small device, it's like a small motor and it allowed me to make my bed into an adjustable bed so that I can raise and lower it to sleep. From the internet: "Memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses are generally the best options for use with adjustable bases, as they provide the flexibility and durability needed to perform well with the base's various adjustments. Traditional innerspring mattresses may not be as compatible due to their rigid construction."
