I've always been a little prone to heartburn and used to seem worse at certain times in my cycle (mainly pre period) but I would never have it for more than a day or two in a row and it would resolve. I've suddenly had heartburn/acid reflux basically every day for 3/4 weeks. I went to the drs last week who said it could be h.pylori and am waiting for stool test results on this (probably delayed due to bank holidays). I got a prescription for 40mg daily of omeprazole which I think is helping somewhat but still getting heartburn to some extent most evenings.
I'm 31 and eat mostly healthily, don't smoke and don't drink much either. The only thing that's changed recently is I went back on the combined pill a couple of months ago and now I'm wondering if it could be something to do with that...
Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts?
Thanks
