PPIs and ER waits raise heart risk and care tips
Acid reflux drugs like omeprazole may raise heart attack risk modestly, especially with existing heart disease, but lifestyle factors matter most. A recent study links a 16 percent higher MI risk for regular PPI users, while H2 blockers show no extra risk. Never stop meds without a doc. Improve diet, activity, and avoid trans fats, sugars, and refined grains. For ER waits, urgent vs. nonurgent care matters. use urgent care when appropriate, bring an advocate, check wait times online, and ask for provider details.
