A BBC Morning Live doctor has issued an urgent warning to anyone taking omeprazole - highlighting one crucial red flag symptom that shouldn't be ignored. ‌

Around a quarter of UK adults experience acid reflux, with many suffering from it occasionally, often following a heavy meal. ‌

People who regularly deal with the uncomfortable condition may be given PPIs such as omeprazole to control symptoms. But Dr Punam has revealed why those on this medication must be careful, particularly during long-term use, stressing the importance of routine medical monitoring. ‌

Dr Punam, a practising NHS GP, serves as the resident doctor on BBC's Morning Live whilst also working as a media medic, health broadcaster, and children's book author.
