Many years ago I used to buy Rennies or Gaviscon for heartburn constantly.
One day I had this pain in my chest and had a doctor's appointment for another reason.
I mentioned to the doctor about the chest pain but didn't think to say anything about the heartburn and the use of Rennies/Tums/Gaviscon etc.
He said I should try Omez (Altosec to be accurate on the product then)
After taking the Omeprazole the pain went away, and believe it or not, so did the heartburn.
Since then (Over 20 years ago), I have never had heartburn issues or needed to take Rennies or Gaviscon. The chest pain never returned.
Moving forward to the present, I now take Omeprazole as a preventative.
It works, but after doing more research I found out using it too often and without any underlying condition, could be dangerous and unhealthy.
So I try using it responsibly for purpose and not potentiation.
And this is my story about Omeprazole.
