Can a patient take Famotidine and omeprazole for reflux and heartburn or is it too much?

sticking when u swallow or gets stuck u mite have an ulcer esophagitis a fungal infection and would need to have an EGD it is a Endoscopy they look in your stomach and esophagus then can dialate your esophagus if it is constricted by scarring from too much acid they use balloon to dilate the esophagus stretch it to normal size. It can be chronic some people need it done yearly or they might have a hiatal hernia which is an abnormality of the opening of the stomach esophagus some people have to have surgery but usually these symptoms are GERD which stands for Gastro esophageal Reflux Disease. EGD stands for Esophagogastroscopy they look into your esophagus stomach with a lighted scope that u swallow u will be sedated for the test they will spray your throat with a numbing spray b4 they insert the scope it is like just swallowing food the drs blow in air to open up the esophagus and stomach and u can see the Upper GI Tract on video. They can also do a colonoscopy with a seperate scope u have to drink a colon prep to clean yourself out. Hope this answer helps people understand. One more thing they often biopsy to do a h pylori test which is a bacteria that can cause ulcers it can be treated with antibiotics and other meds. Ulcers are formed from too much anti-inflammatories and hpylori. Stress and spicey foods do not
cause ulcers they just make ulcers worse. I am a RN I worked in The GI field for 20 years. I hope this info is helpful.
