It was just assumed I had too much acid. The first time I had pain and it
went through to my back. The doctor assumed I had an ulcer and didn't think
testing was necessary since it was my first problem. The Zantac worked great
(took it for 6 weeks) and I never had a problem again with that. Then the
other time I was having lots of chest pain which we figured out was really
coming from the stomach or esophagus. She assumed it was from acid splashing
into the esophagus (acid reflux) and prescribed Prilosec which increased my
pain. So I took Zantac again and it made everything feel good. I take it now
if I overeat or whatever and have a one time burning pain in the chest. Often
Tums or other antacids made me feel like I'd eaten a concrete block.
