If the doctor thinks you need medication to heal your esophagus then you should definitely take it, because you're exposing yourself to the danger of developing esophageal cancer. Try to see if you can take an H2 blocker. If that doesn't help you (you need to give it at least 2 weeks to see if you feel better), then take the PPI. It's better than getting cancer.

I"d rather get cancer and die of it; that spend 12 hours laying in bed, clutching a heating pad, against my tummy, trying to get it to unlock, and hypersensitivity to methane gas, like pea gravel; inside my tummy, grinding along. From what I've seen, a lot of doctors, have their "go to" diagnosis and treatment, and don't listen to the patients, don't review the prior records, and don't have a clue about WTF is going on, with and inside their patient, I've had 15 ED/docs, three GI docs, and about five surgeons, deny, what I told them, over two years, and finally confirmed thanks to another surgeon, "very rare, spigelian hernia, you got to get that fixed, it can pinch your bowel" after two years of misery and telling docs that I have a hernia, and the all denied it, but one, that said that was a possibility. Inept idiots, a lot of doctors; don't know shit.
