Acid reflux & GI discomfort
I’m abroad and experiencing some gastrointestinal issues. I’ve had acid reflux, heartburn, stomach sensitivity, the feeling of a knot in my throat, sore throat, and nausea for the past three weeks. I was taking Zantac and it wasn’t helping, so I went to consult a doctor who gave me Nexium. I began taking it but it seemed to make my symptoms worse. I went to a different doctor who prescribed Valium and Buscopan to take with Nexium. Is this safe? Can I take them all? What side effects can occur?
