Using popular over-the-counter heartburn medications like TUMS or Prilosec raises your risk of suffering from migraines by up to 70 percent, a study suggests.
Researchers at the University of Maryland analyzed data on 11,800 people, including 2,100 who took over-the-counter anti-heartburn medications.
This included patients taking antacid treatments containing calcium carbonate, which is used in TUMS, or proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec to ease the burning sensation in the chest.
