Acid reflux: Anyone out there?

Thanks for your reply,
My Doctor doubled my PPIs, Pantoprazole, from 40 mgs once a day to twice a day with no effect, I then tried a famotidine at night as well with good results.
How long have you been on this routine ?
My understanding was for long term use PPIs were better and safer than H2 blockers.
There are specific breathing exercises for the diaphragm [Belly breathing] which have not helped so far.
And yes, lots of horror stories with surgery. Starting to run out of options. Good luck.

I've been on a PPI for about 8 years, and the famotidine at night for a few months. I had heard that safety wise it was better to be on H2 blockers and not PPI - strange that you heard the opposite.
