Constant acid reflux

I keep having constant acid reflux for the past few months, unless I take an omeprazole every day. My omeprazole finished yesterday, and today's been t o r t u r e. Can anyone else relate, or does this just happen to me?

I get it too. I'll have breaks though for a few days when I feel just fine and then have periods where it hurts so bad I have to be careful how I move my head (lol, I drop my pen on the floor and know its gonna hurt to pick that up!). Only a few times have I had that crushing chest pain from it though--those scare me.

Yeah... I should take omeprazol or whatever every morning but can't afford it. Last night we barbequed and I was so drunk I almost fell asleep before purging but I felt so bad so yeah... sausages are the worst and crisps and fatty things..

I just took mine... I should take one in the morning and it's 2PM? but if we're going to bbq again and I already had fatty food, so trying not to burge today too...

Before I was put on omeprazole, I had the same problem. How I only get bad acid reflux if I miss a dose, but I (occasionally) still get it throughout the day. I'm supposed to go back to the GI doctor in May, as I may need another increase in dosage.
