Suggest Treatment For Tinnitus And Heartburns While On Synthroid

I have been taking PPI meds since 1995 but recently my Aciphex 20 mgs has been burning after I take it. To complicate matters, I have been diagnosed with low Thyroid and am taking 25mcg Synthroid, which is causing greater gastric distress and dizziness. My tinnitus roars, adding to my misery. I have been on the Synthroid for 15 days and am so bloated & miserable with heartburn. I would dearly like to get off the PPI meds but know this is a tricky, slow process, as long term use is not a good thing. What can you tell me about this?

Hi,

You should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. You can get prescribed ranitidine instead. If not adequately relieved, then you should add Syr sucral O or gelusil two teaspoon three times a day for a week.

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