8 weeks ago i woke up with strong heartburn suddenly and it was almost continuous for over a week every day. it would peak and go back down throughout the day, didnt seem to be food related. started omeprazole and 3 days in it stopped the heartburn so ive got more from drs. i havent had painful heartburn since but ive got a constant what can only be described as menthol sensation in my mouth? is this heartburn related or a side effect of omeprazole? its driving me mad my mouth, gums and back of throat always feels like ive had an airways chewing gum and taken in a big breath. i feel like im going mad!?

      yes thats what it feels like for me too. feels strongest between my nose and top of mouth. ive got another drs apt tomorrow so will see what they say and if its reflux causing it omeprazole definitely doesnt help it or taking gaviscon.
