[|Human|] after reading that omeprozol can lead to heart attacks I have stopped using it daily (20mg). I now have terrible heartburn and I also have a sharp pain in my upper neck. i am not sure if the two syptoms are related? What can I do to end the content heartburn?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, heart burn if severe can cause throat pain. By your history and description, possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more in your case. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause throat pain and central burning chest pain. Along with Chat Doctor.  Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
