Lara, if you use Zantac (ranitidine), I'd stop that for a while and
see if things improve.
I have always had headaches and visual auras (spiral moving
geometric scotomas) from it.
Other H2 blockers don't do this to me. Only Zantac.
There are studies showing that H2 antagonists cross the blood
brain barrier in older patients. Many hospitalized elderly are given Zantac for some reason, and they can develop delirium from it.

I wasn't even elderly the first time my doctor tried Zantac on me. Didn't last but 2 or 3 days for me!
When I get heartburn now, I use only 200mg of cimetidine. That works for me without any CNS side effects.
