Hi everyone,

So i was prescribed 20mg omeprazol around 7/8 months ago after experiencing the worst heart burn ever! Now when i say heart burn i mean burning in the heart area. Whenever i look for annswers on heart bearn it allways seems to assume heartburn is related in the center of tye chest wheres my burning feels like its literally my actuall heart in fire!  It wasnt long after this i started to get acid refulx allso, allmost to the point where acid would shoot up into my actuall mouth! This all happened not to long after my mother passed away, along with alot of other symptoms. At one stage i thought i had fibromyalgia or something due to the amount of bodilly changes i was having. My stools where pale my urine was bronze and i was a wreck! Alot of this has eased off appart from the gord/gerd etc. Omeprazol has been a god send so far. If i dont take any for a few days i get severe burning of the heart again and acid reflux along with rib pain/alot of gas/ stomach growling etc. Would any of you more experienced omerz takers have any advice on a better way about this? I am 29 years old/male and was first told everything was due to high anxiety levels after my mother passed. Isnt there operations etc that can be done and how easy can you be selected for an opp? Thanks alot for any info you all may have and i hope all is well
