ve been taking the PPI for 7 days now and it seems like the heartburn is getting worse (today for a short while the pain was around 5
or 6/10) and the antacid is less effective. The
indigestion symptoms also remain. Today I talked with a gastroenterologist who doubled my daily PPI dose - she diagnosed my condition as GERD.
My main question is, could I be misdiagnosed? Could I instead have low stomach acidity which is my symptoms are getting worse as I take PPIs?
