Stomach burning, Severe Heartburn, Lump at bottom of ribcage

I am a 44 year old female. For the last two years, I have had heartburn while sleeping. In the past three months, this has increased to constant heartburn and a feeling of burning in the stomach. Last week I noticed a lump between my lower rib cage. It is painful to the touch. I tested positive and was treated h. pylori four years ago. I went to my primary care two weeks ago, who put me on zantac 150 and tested me for h. pylor, which came back negative. The zantac has reduced the symptoms, but I am still fairly uncomfortable. I am considered slightly overweight on the bmi scale. I am 5′9, 180 pounds. I have had four pregnancies, two surviving children, an emergency ectopic and a miscarriage. Any help would be appreciated.

Generic Protonix

I have just been prescribed Protonix to help with my acid reflux and ulcers. The only problem is, there is no generic to this drug and I do not have any insurance. Could someone tell me how I can get this medicine cheap or a program for uninsured people who require these medicines to live a normal life? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Zantac and pregnancy.

I am dying of the worst heartburn ever…everyday!!!
I am pregnant and it gets worse everyday. I have been taking zantac 150..a miracle drug if you ask me. The dosage is no more than 2 a day. However…..2 a day no longer cuts it for me. Zantac is pretty safe right???? Is it really that bad to take 3 a day. Anyone have any experience with this drug?
