    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FURTHER HELPFUL INFORMATION

    What are the symptoms of heartburn?

    The normal symptoms of reflux are a painful sensation in the chest rising up to your throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).


    Why do you get these symptoms?

    Heartburn can be a result of eating too much, eating high fat food, eating too quickly and drinking lots of alcohol. You may also notice that when you lie down, that your heartburn gets worse. If you are overweight or smoke you increase the probability of suffering from heartburn.


    What can I do to help relieve my symptoms?

    • Eat healthier food and try to avoid spicy and fatty foods and large meals late before bedtime.

    • Avoid fizzy drinks, coffee, chocolate and alcohol.

    • Eat slowly and eat smaller portions.

    • Try to lose weight.

    • Stop smoking.


      When should I seek advice or help?

    • You should seek urgent medical advice if you experience chest pain with light-headedness, sweating, dizziness or shoulder pain with shortness of breath.

    • If you experience any of the symptoms detailed in Section 2 of this leaflet and it advises you to talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

    • If you are suffering from any of the side effects detailed in Section 4 which require medical attention.
