Looking for info on acid reflux...please help

by uphill7584, Oct 14, 2008 12:31PM
Wake up every morning curled up in a ball with pain in my lower abdomen. Also feel like I am going to threw up as soon as I awake. Forcing myself to swallow gulps of air and burp usually helps a little bit. Usually go to the bathroom right away in the morning which makes my stomach feel a bit better. However, there is definite pain all day along with constant nausea. It is worst when I wake up tho.

Doctor told me to take prilosec otc once in the morning and once at night....I have been on the "14 day" treatment for about 10 days with no changes.

I guess my question is if I should expect it to take this long, if I should go back in for a RX med, or if anyone thinks it could be something else.

Thanks.
