Suggest Treatment For Severe Indigestion While On Omeprazole

I started feeling extreme indigestion about 24 hours ago.........antacids did not help....I take prescribed omeprazole once daily........I even went so far as to take an additional one last night......it did not help. I have taken antacids today twice and no relief altho the pain is not quite as severe

Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, you need to have an ultrasound abdomen to rule out any other origin of pain.

However a gastroenterologist review may be needed and if ultrasound is unremarkable, upper GI endoscopy may also be needed.

Continue antacids like Omeprazole before meals alongside motility agents like domperidone or Itopride. Sucralfate may also be helpful in such conditions along with the other treatment options.

Stool for H pylori may be needed to decide for eradication therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
