Severe Acid Reflux

[Smowball]

I take Omeprazole daily and cannot miss if for a day without suffering extreme acid/burning in chest and throat. On Thursday I went to take it and realised I had ran out (I thought I had a box left) . I went straight to surgery and said yes I know I'm meant to give 48 hours notice for repeat prescriptions but I've literally ran out and will be in pain by tonight. Receptionist said she would try but they were short staffed. Doctor still hasn't done it and I'm now in such pain. Chest and throat are on fire. Ive rang 111 and they said they will get someone to call me back in a couple of hours, but is there anything at all I can try Inbetween?? Ive tried ranatadine, cold milk etc and nothing is touching it : (

My doc gives me Omeprazole and sometimes it does not help , another doc gave Nexium me which really made a big difference but when I asked for more I was told we cant prescribe that again its too expensive so now I have Omeprazole and a big bottle of Peptac for when I wake up during night with acid !

P.S. when I have ran out of tablets I find a few tablespoons of porridge helps for a while :)
