If you are suffering from GERD i would suggest to use natural organic Cabbage Juice, cabbage curry .Cabbages are good for curing problems of stomach ,Eat small small meals around a day insatead of heavy meal .Hope you have checked for H-Pyori Bacteria which will cause these stomach issues.
Wow!! I have taken zantac for about 10+ years . About 3-4 years ago I noticed After eating dinner & taking my second zantac , I felt like my throat was closing , which of course gave me a mild panic attack . It was also hard for me to breathe after eating & I assumed something I ate didn't agree with me . I would always take a breathing treatment as I also have emphysema . I took the rapid heartbeat as a side effect of the breathing treatment . I quit taking zantac when I heard about how good the raw unrefined vinegar was . No more heartburn & didn't realize until reading this , but no more feeling like my throat was closing , although I still have to take a breathing treatment after eating , but no more rapid heartbeat either . Thank y'all for posting . I am now taking meds. for osteoporosis & am not suppose to take the vinegar anymore :( But I don't have heartburn like I used to . Before zantac I would drink baking soda water 3-5 x a day . Now when I do get it , which is not very often , I just take a couple of tums .
It is real they normally prescribed a low dose and have you later change to every other day every third day. It's to be used while you change your diet know if you use menthol products especially in tabacco it does the same thing.
I just started takin Zantac twice daily and have noticed the same thing. Panic, feeling of throat tightness, jittery etc. I thought I was going nuts until I read this!

OMEPRAZOLE USE CAUSES OSTEOPOROSIS-
A Study from 2006, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association by Zang et. al, showed long-term use of PPI's increased hip fractures.
Zang et. al. concluded, "proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may interfere with calcium absorption through induction of hypochlorhydria but they also may reduce bone resorption through inhibition of osteoclastic vacuolar proton pumps." [2]
Hypochlorhydria is also known as low-stomach acid.
The FDA is now including a warning label on all prescribed PPI's linking their use to hip, spine and wrist fractures, with long-term use.
Never take acid reducers. They cut your life span in half and cause heart attacks.
Hi , seems like your stomach producing excesssive acid . Before i suggest anything i need more info . You can contact me whatsapp +919958146385.
. Same exact thing happens to me. I mean exact. Same racing heartbeat, anxiety over food allergies. Crazy right. The most I ntense panic attacks always right after taking the Zantac.

Thank you for your response. I went to a natural health store and was told to try two teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar in a cup of water before I eat as a substitute for the Zantac. This is the third day and I have had no reflux. Hopefully this will be a long term solution because I hate to think of having to try another medicine.
HI...I found it is best to talk with a pharmacist they have a better understanding of what the meds can cause and if u will have ne interactions.
If u have a small Pharmacy get to know the druggest..I had one yrs ago and he has since been bought out by a large drug store chain...I do miss the care I got, but I do still ask at the drug store....they can help u much more so than ur dr.
Always read the side effects on ur meds and if u r having them for more than a couple days...ask to get on diff meds.
I am sorry to hear u went thru this, but thank you for sharing an important issue with all of us.
Godspeed
