I was on Omeprazole 40Mg dose for just over 3 years after being diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and for the first 3 months I took 2 capsules everyday.
By the end of those 3 years they had stopped working very well so much so that I was getting recurring reflux problems and was also coughing a lot
during the night and the next morning. For some reason that I am unable to rationally explain I decided that I would just stop taking them. Within a few
days "bingo" my reflux problem stopped.The coughing also stopped and I had the best nights sleep for a long time. To check if that was a good idea I
took one each night for 2 nights and my coughing returned.
I then made an appointment to see my GP and after listening to me, asking some questions etc he agreed that I could stop taking them but asked me
to see him when my problem reappeared. I am ecstatic to report that it hasn't so far touch wood and whistle.
