Have a father with bad acid reflux, very concerning to me now. PLEASE HELP.?
My father is basically the most thickheaded a person can get. In his progressing years now 55 , he's basically cut off his family, and eliminated his social life. This has to due with many issues, not just the fact he's a grumpy man and anti social. I am not looking for a lecture. I am not looking for a " GO TO THE DOCTOR" answer. He won't. I need to do what I can to help my dad before it gets too bad. My father has been coughing, clearing his throat, and choking more and more lately in his sleep. I've done some research and this really could do with the big issue that he drinks a lot of alcohol before he goes to bed, or eats right before he falls asleep. Again, I'm not looking for any " go to the doctor" advice. I just need tips that a 17 year old concerned daughter can do.I was thinking maybe there are some pills I can buy, that will help with his acid reflux, maybe kick in shortly after he takes them, so I don't have to worry about the man dying in his sleep or something. I've been giving him two tums before bed, but I know that they can only do so much. He is on a generic acid reflux pill, just a cheap dollar store one, and it is called " Omeprazole Magnesium." However, after reading the label, these pills are made to kick in 1 4 days after taken. I need something that I can force him to take before he falls asleep or shortly after he falls asleep that will prevent him from being hurt while he is sleeping. Please, please help. I am desperate at this point. I can't watch this happen anymore. His throat clearing in his sleep has gotten so bad that it wakes me up and scares me.My father WILL take medication if I tell him to. He just will not address his health problems because he doesn't care about himself enough to. Once again, I repeat, the man is THICKHEADED. he had skin cancer on the back of his neck for six years before he went to the doctor and did something about it. I just want tips on what I CAN DO.

Horrible Acid reflux and stomach pains while running ?
So ive had bad acid reflux for a whole year now. Its gotten worse. I throw up after every meal or every drink. It only burns my throat probably 2 5 times that it comes out. I am only 16 year old and dont know anyone my age who as this. I often catch myself coking on the food i had eaten hours before hand. As for the stomach pains i am in track and cross country and often i get horrible lower stomach pains extremely bad as i run my lower stomach is unbearable. Also, when i finish my race i cant even stand, I am convinced it has to do with the acid reflux but quite not sure. So far ive been to my gastrologist and unfortunately i forgot to tell him about my stomach pains. I went to him a couple of months ago and he gave me these pills but of course they had no effect on me. The label said to take once a day an hour or so before a meal and it doesnt work. They said that if these pills dont work they will put a tube down my that and i am extremely afraid and i he they dont do it while im awake. I just need to know if the stomach pains are apart of it? Can i stop it before i have to put a tube down my throat? Will they do it while im awake??
