Minneapolis: According to a study, people who take acid-reducing medications may be at a higher risk of migraines and other severe headaches than those who do not. Acid-reducing medications include proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole and esomeprazole, histamine H2-receptor antagonists or H2 blockers like cimetidine and famotidine, and antacids.
The study does not prove that acid-reducing medicines cause migraines; it only indicates a relationship.
