PPIs and Heart Health: What You Need to Know

Dr. Vikki Petersen warns that PPI medication, commonly prescribed for acid reflux, poses significant dangers, including a 1.5 to 3.5 times increased risk of heart attack. This risk is likely due to PPIs depleting nitric oxide levels, which protect heart health.

Dr. Petersen recommends identifying the root cause of acid reflux and treating it naturally, rather than relying on PPIs. If you’re taking PPIs, don’t stop abruptly; instead, consult a healthcare professional for guidance. Call 727-335-0400 for a consultation to explore alternative solutions.
