What Is The Best Medicine For Heartburn And Vomiting?

My wife has mild to sever heart burn and has been taking Omeprazole 40mg. She now has a feeling of wanting to Vomit many times during the day and this has been going on for over two months. Her heart burn is worse and she just got a EGD test done today that showed no serious problems. The doctor took her off Omeprazole and put her on Rabeprazole sod dr 20mg and now told her to take two pills a day instead of one. She still has the feeling of wanting to vomit and sometimes sever heart burn. We have been told to wait a week to see if going to two pills a day of Rabeprazole will help. Please advise if something else could cause these serious problem. Thank You

Welcome to HealthCare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

Your wife could be having Gastro-esophageal reflux disease.

I would suggest you to ask your wife to
-     Drink loads of water
-     Avoid oily,spicy food
-     Have a diet rich in fibres
-     Continue tablet Rabeprazole
-     I would also start tablet Domperidone to get rid off the nausea
- Get a blood haemoglobin , total count , ESR done

Do not worry.

I would also suggest you to visit a physician . He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.

Hope this helps.
Write back to us.
Have a nice day.
Regards.
