Menopause and heartburn

Yes, I've had it for years. I'm not sure that it is connected with the menopause - more that it is just part of getting older . I take Omeperazole with good effect, and I sleep on a wedge pillow which is very helpful at night. Good luck.

Thank you. Im taking that too. Im off to the drs later today. I will try the wedge pillow.

I take 40 mg omeprazole and also raise my bed which helps.

Not sure whether it was the menopause or the associated weight gain that brought on my indigestion. But when I lost weight, only a couple of stone, nothing dramatic, it more or less disappeared.

Been to the dr and im now on 40 mg omeprazme. Will let you know how i get on.
Thanks for your comments

I used to suffer with terrible heartburn (or Acid reflux as my GP calls it) which also caused a persistent cough. I was prescribed omeprazole which did help.

I found that it was always worse after eating bread so I decided to cut out bread for a while to see if it helped. Guess what? No bread no heartburn! I never eat bread at all now so I don't have to use any medication.

Well good news. On 40mg and doing well. Fingers crossed.
Thank you all for your help.
