I got put on them when I had an ERD attack so severe, my arm went numb and I ended up in the emergency room. The EKG said I’d gone into v-fib before I leveled off and they thought it was a heart attack. My blood work came back negative, so they did an ultrasound and found an esophageal lesion that was about to burn through. They can have my omeprazole when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

I take omeprazole to create reduced-acid conditions needed to heal my stomal and duodenal ulcers and my post-gastric-bypass GGF.

The level of abdominal damage and pain I’d have to endure without a good PPI acid-reducer is frightening.

When it happened to me, I found a study that shows that uncontrolled GERD manifests as VFIB. I went through all sorts of issues before the cardiologist threw that diagnosis out and found the real problems. Still, I may try one of the H2 medicines again. Perhaps it will work this time.
