Im 17 and Ive had acid reflux for over 2 years now. I was prescribed ranitidine, it didnt toil, then omeprazole, it didnt toil, I was then prescribed 15mg lanzoprazole, then 30mg when it didnt toil and Im now on 30mg twice a day. I still suffer from burning in my throat, chest and back pain, nausea and the horrible taste in my mouth in the morning when taking the tablets. Ive raised my bed, go around spicey food and other foods that I know make me nauseous or give me a sore stomach/ abdomen (I also have IBS). Should I go back to the doctor as Ive been taking tablets for over 2 years, they sometimes help and I stop taking them for a few weeks only to have to start taking them again? Had anyone suggestions on how to administer this or if it could be another issue (not acid reflux)? I know surgery is an option for some people, is it worth it? I had an upper endoscopy done over a year ago which showed nothing to suggest I have another condition which is causing the reflux
