Heartburn - excessive, for a month
I had an endoscope today and the dr. said there was a hiatal hernia as well as where surgery was performed 15 years ago to lift the stomach to help indigestion the surgery site was coming loose. Does not want to operate. Prescribed dexilant, but it is very cost prohibitive. I have been taking protonix, can I add ranitidine to this in place of dexilant?
