    Heartburn
    I have been prescribed prilosec for heartburn but should I be worried that I continue to have severe heartburn at least 2 to 3 times a day?

    I took it for two months straight, then went for a recheck. What did your doctor say?

    I had to switch from Prilosec to Nexium for any kind of relief. You might want to ask your doctor about that.
