▲ 3 r/GERD

I might be crazy, but after increasing my Omeprazole dosage to 2 a day (one in the morning, one midday) I feel like I've had more energy than I've had in years (physically and semi-mentally.) However that doesn't make sense... right? Maybe my improvement in energy is completely unrelated, but is there any chance at all that there could be some link there?

sidebar/additional question: technically I haven't been officially diagnosed with GERD, however my doctor did recommend taking 1 omeprazole pill a day. After a few months I noted that some issues felt impacted, but I was still dealing with others. The doctor ended up recommending me taking 2 a day now, and after a week or so, it's felt like most of my issues are gone now. What might this mean? I know I should still schedule another check-in, but I'm sure there are some known pathways from here and I'd love to see what others have to say. Does this mean I'd need to be on some sort of medication for the rest of my life, or maybe a potential surgery may be within the cards?

Thanks in advance for any and all thoughts :) Hope I don't sound dramatic lol
