Hi everyone, my treatment started yesterday chemo radiation, since then I’ve had a constant headache but what is really causing me discomfort is this horrific heartburn , I can’t even sip water so I doubt if I will be eating later , I’ve even taken an extra omeprazole than I’m meant to take so 60 instead of 30 , I don’t think I would be able to stomach gaviscon , has anyone got any advise please that I could try straight away , thank you xx
Try sucking an antacid tablet. I’d tell your team tomorrow. They might give you something else

What like Rennie ? I can’t take them with omeprazole

When I used to get awful reflux after RT I used to take Lansoprazole and Gaviscon. Ok together as long as you take them two hours apart.
