I am 25 year old male having sharp chest pain, heartburn symptoms in the morning. My doctor prescribed me sompraz 40 mg ppi (morning before food) for 1 month. I have been reading how taking ppis for long-term can lead to chronic low-stomach acid production & symptoms of low magnesium (which I do feel after sompraz a little dizziness). I have already taken the medication for 2 weeks. It is safe to continue to take it? Are there any natural ways I can cure my heartburn? Please advice. Also, if I do continue to take for a month and then stop, are there chances for relapse? How can I avoid that?
