Thought I'd just throw this out of nowhere to see what others think.
I've been suffering from possible GERD (unsure, I'm going to see a private doctor about it tomorrow). At the moment I've been on 2 Omeprazole 20mg tablets daily, one in the morning and the other in the evening. Been doing this for the past 5 days.
It's helping relive most of my symptoms but my sleeping has been the worst it's ever been for the past 3 days, and even before I got GERD mid-August I'd always end up waking up in the middle of the night. I seem to usually get 2 lots of 1.5 hours of deep sleep while waking up in between. Last night I woke up with quite a bit of pain in my chest, and even more so in my arms. It's because of this I'm actually gonna start weening off of Omeprazole slowly, I think 2 tablets is too much.
Originally a different private doctor recommended I drink Chamomile tea to calm myself. I tried it and it tastes icky, so I found some Chamomile tablets and tried those instead. They helped to begin with but now no longer work so I stopped taking them.
Any advice or ideas would be appreciated. (Btw I'm only drinking beetroot juice in the morning and still spring water with orange squash all other times so I haven't been drinking any soda or caffeine.)
