Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It Safe To Take Prevacid And Zantac To Treat Burning Sensation In Stomach?
I have been having a burning sensation in my stomach and chest for about 3 months now. On and off. When I take over the counter Prevacid or Zantac, the pain goes away. Sometimes at night I am so uncomfortable, I sleep in a upright position. Is it time to see a doctor?
Prevacid or Lansoprazole would be a good treatment since you are most probably suffering from heart burn due to acid reflux. Take Prevacid continuously for a month. Sleep at night with 2 pillows at your head end. Avoid spicy and fried foods. Do not lie down with your stomach full. Do not fill your stomach always when you have meals. Have smaller meals. Take care.
