Title: Heart Burn
Post by: dkerr on August 03, 2009, 03:50:19 PM

I've noticed after completing my time on NxStage I've started having heart burn.  Haven't had it in years and didn't have it in center.  Anyone else have this problem?

Not sure if it relates to NxStage, but Sharon never had heartburn problems until she was on Dialysis, she now takes one Prilosec tablet daily and it keeps it at bay........

Its called Reflux and its very common , i get it from the meds i take , so now i have to take another med to guard against stomach ulcers , which reflux can eventually cause .

Thanks.  Maybe I need to get back on that purple pill.
