Re: too young for heartburn?

Sounds like you have Acid Reflux. Get some prilosec it will take care of it.

BTW I am 29 and have the same thing and have been on Prilosec for about 3 years now.

Re: too young for heartburn?

You have to take something for the heartburn, acid reflux on a daily basis, not as needed. You need a prescription from a doctor. Prilosec does not work for everyone, there are other meds out there too, prilosec didn't work for me, but nexium does. And, no you are not to young to have it, I knew a 16 year old who had ulcers.
