I've been on Met for a year now, 1000mg twice a day. I've never had issues with heartburn/reflux, but since I started taking it every time I lay down I get it really bad. I have a bottle of pepcid at my bedside because I always get it. I have tried propping up my pillow more, but even when I'm lounging on the couch, I have it, and it hurts...bad!!
I'm not sure if this is something I should see a dr. about, or if it's just a side effect of the met...anyone know?

Hey im a little late posting but i have been on met since april 3 and i have had the worst heartburn. I could cry. I called my gyn and she said it was a s/e of met and it would subside if i could just stick with the met. Good luck!

No problem...I'm about to buy stock in Pepcid because it's the only thing that works for me, I really do have to take it on a daily basis.

Lately I have noticed I have had a lot of heartburn. Thanks for starting this thread because I don't know that I would of put two and two together Thank god for rolaids
Hi Girls i am not certain but i think high oestrogen levels can cause heartburn. Thats why some women get it in early pregnance (and all throughout but during latter stages its a combination of increased Oestrogen and the bump squashing everything up!).
I have very scant and irregular periods at the moment but am trying to note down in a diary when i get heartburn as i am sure it is always around the time of my period. I havent had a periiod now for 83 days but just this last couple i have sore boobs and had heartburn today so am expecting a bleed soon. Fingers crossed!
Just thought i would share my opinion and thoughts with you all!
Jessica.
Yeah, that might be true for some, but I have it on a daily basis

I never connect the two, but my heartburn has been BAD! I quit coffee and smoking. I can't cuddle after dinner. I have been taking ginger and it does help a little bit.
Do you have heartburn/reflux on Met? 
Thank god for rolaids
