If your inflammation was severe, I can understand your doctor wanting to keep you on Omeprazole and Pantoprazole for a while. I have also taken Omeprazole for a month or so at a time to deal with inflammation.

Do you take baby aspirin, calcium, and vitamins with food? If you take those on an empty stomach, that can cause inflammation and GERD symptoms. You might also ask your doctor about trying a milder med like Pepcid to see how that would work for you.

I hope you get feeling better. Will you post again with an update as to how you are doing?

Hi with the omeprazole @ 20mg I was doing ok but kept getting heartburn my GP said take more tums I said this was going on too long and I wanted to see GI doctor she said a lot of inflammation so then pantoprazole the first 3 or 4 days after scope on it I felt no burn but then it started back sometimes that’s when after 2 weeks she said go to 2 times a day but now I am waking in the middle of the night with the burn and feeling it more during the day didn’t know if this is just getting used to new drug.I do take all vitamins with food and raise my head at night.Can some of these heart burn meds make things worse?
