Acid reflux pills like Prilosec, Nexium, and Protonix were designed for about 8 weeks of use — yet millions of people stay on them for years.

In this video, Dr. Vikki walks through 5 signs your acid reflux medication may be hurting you, why you feel like you can never stop taking it, and what to look at instead.

⏱️ What we cover

→ Fatigue and low iron or B12
→ Muscle cramps and heart flutters — the magnesium connection
→ New food reactions and the gluten link
→ Why you can't seem to stop — the rebound trap
→ The hidden long-term cost — bones, kidneys, gut

⚠️ Important

Do not stop or change any prescribed medication without your doctor — acid reflux medications need to be tapered, not stopped cold. Reflux medications help real people with real conditions; this video is about the cost of staying on them for years, not a reason to quit yours today. If you have trouble swallowing, unexplained weight loss, or chest pain, seek care.
