Having Esophagitis And A-fib. Suggested To Increase Prilosec. Having Nausea. What To Do?

Esophagitis, a-fib are the 2 problems giving me grief with drug interactions.
Just had an endoscopy/colonoscopy told to increase Prilosec to 2per day. Am having much nausea. Amiodarone that I take is giving me a lot of problems. Till I can call my doctor is there something for esophagitis,gerd that does not interact with amiodarone. Alka seltzer also has calcium carbonate and is not working, still giving me nausea and my a-fib is about 115 beats per minute.

Hello.To improve your symptoms should increase the dose of the drug for heartburn and associate a stimulant of gastric mobility.
I treat my patients with Omeprazole 20 mg twice a day+Metoclopramide 10mg thrice a day when GERD is the diagnosis,besides these drugs do not interact with Amiodarone.Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.
I wish you good health.
