Hi all. I've been on Omeprazole for a few years as I suffer with bad acid reflux. I had to stop taking them for 2 weeks prior to doing a stool sample. While off the tablets, I had extreme acid / heartburn. I've been back on the Omeprazole for about 1 month now and acid reflux is at bay. I've noticed though in for the last couple of weeks, I've got like a blocked feeling in my upper stomach, center, below breast bone. I don't know if it's food not going down properly or trapped gas? It's really worrying me. Could my Oesophagus or windpipe close up? I also have to yawn to get a full breath. I feel a little light headed too. Any help would be much appreciated.
I was professionally diagonsed with acid reflux and mild inflammation of the food pipe a week ago. i am having all these symptoms, tight chest, nausea, light headedness and the feeling my food is stuck in my stomach and as if my food pipe is closing.
Thank you for the reply. Have the doctors said these are normal symptoms of acid reflux? How are they treating you for it?
For trapped gas take Simethiconee anti-gas tablets available over the counter.
