Aciphex blood pressure
Common Questions and Answers about Aciphex blood pressure
aciphex
I am 52 years old 5'8 160lbs. I have had ekg.s,echo's, blood work and all say I have no cardiac issue. Other than an occasional extra beat and some mitral regurg.. Doc's say they are both no problem.
But I still have upper left chest pain and discomfort in my upper back and slightly under my arm pit.
Have had cough and phlem(clear and small amount) for months. Went to my Dr and he put me on xanex,then paxil( which thankfully I got off and got thru the side effects.
Since then I am taking Acid suppressants such as Nexium and Aciphex as prescribed by my doctor. I also underwent Endoscopy and Biopsy, Abdominal Ultrasound, X-Ray and Blood test . All the tests came normal except they found H-Pilory infection and I took antibiotics and subsequent Stool test for H-Pilory showed negative. I am still having all the above discomforts which is going on for 5 months. I normally eat very healthy and I am following a strict diet since this problem started.
I've taken Aciphex for over 10 years for extreme GERD. Since all the new studues came out about it being so bad long term, I decided to try and get off it. I'm down from 20mg a day to 20mg every 3-4 days. I've weaned over the last 2 months, had horrible rebound and can't get passed this stage. I have bad stomach pains, diarrhea, nausea. I'm supplementing with Tums currently.
Any helpful advice is appreciated. I'm ready to give up.
Which, incidentally, stopped when I stopped taking the aciphex. Shortly after taking the aciphex I started experiencing symptoms of GERD. I still have the GERD to this day - some days its worse than others. I connect a straight line between the taking of aciphex and the development of GERD. Is this a reasonable conclusion? or is there some other more likely explanation?
Been on prilosec, nexium aciphex, etc., ever since. My GP ordered an upper GI. All normal except MASSIVE GERD. He doubled my nexium to 2 a day. Also had a chest xray which was normal. He ordered abdominal blood work - all normal (gall bladder, liver, pancreas, etc)
Still couldn't shake the intermittent nausea....Had an endoscopy - showed gerd, slight irritation of esophagus, small hiatal hernia and stomach blisters and nodules which were removed and benign.
I was dx a few months back. Take advair twice a day (was taking singulair too, but it gave me a headache) & take aciphex daily for gerd. the aciphex has helped w/ the coughing some, but i still cough a good bit...sometimes to the point of dizziness. If I laugh, I cough. Any suggestions?
pylori bacteria in the digestive tract. The irony is, if you have ulcers and take Aciphex alone, the Aciphex could make the symptoms worse. Clearly something changed after taking the antibiotics, and now your ally in heartburn control has become your enemy. It might be worth getting back to your physician on this one, since antibiotics can often be a "swinging door", killing some bacteria while making it easier for other bacteria to get through that otherwise wouldn't have.
and everytime in the morning i do a hand stand i exercise a lot . i spit blood 3 to 4 times and constantly during the day i spit glimy mucuous. im going crazy . sorry when you have medical you end up going to the worst doctor . he prescribed for me aciphex but i have not taking it yet is not covered and i did my own research i found out and please correct me if im wrong. clarithromycin might help that.
have found out that I have Gastritis, which I am currently taking Aciphex for treatment. Seems The Aciphex has helped w/ the heartburn and related symtoms. Except this RIB Pain is Constant and have had 2 horrible attacks where I thought my Ribcage on R/side was going to crack. I Lay on the heating pad for about 45 minutes and it subsides or until I can get in a comfortable position. But yet I still experience sharp stabbing pains and sometimes I feel a fluttering right below the ribcage.
I am a 32 year old with MVP, high blood pressure, frequent pvc's, and sleep apnea. My current BP average is 124/60 due to Lisinopril 10mg and my pvc's are controlled by Flecanaide 100mg. I wake up gasping for air sometimes and my heart will start to race for about a minute or two and then slow down. Last Tuesday I was at a work convention and began to feel a pain in my chest near my left nipple. It was sharp feeling and lasted a second or two.
Hello, I am new to this site. I am posting about a problem I am having in hopes of getting some ideas of what it could be.
About three months ago I was sitting at home not doing much because I was having some pains that I thought was gas. I stood up and walked around to see if it would go away.
When I sat down again I noticed an odd pop in my chest area.
Has anyone tried Zegerid? So far I have tried Prevacid, Aciphex, Prilosec,Protonix, and Nexium. Aciphex gave me bad side effects and Nexium made my reflux symptoms worse. Prilosec did absolutely nothing for me.
I was successfully treated for H. Pylori in Nov 07. Since then I have been suffering from Water Brash and now heartburn. I don't know where to turn. My GI now wants me to take Zegerid(isn't this med just like Prilosec with sodium?).
told no I am not fine, one area no concern, other area metaplasia, was I still taking the Aciphex. I have gone back on the Aciphex but am terrified after reading on websites that I did the wrong thing. Endoscopy only done originally because I had still unexplained/diagnosis following three days of diarrhea, cramping, dehydration. On antibiotiic, H pylori ruled out. History of GERD, hiatal hernia. Control symptoms with diet, OTC Gaviscon.
In the past two weeks I have had something going on that I'm not quite sure what it is. It starts with a swirling in my sternum area which turns into a twisting type cramping. This leads to headaches, dizziness, fevers that go up and down and acid (I'm on 20 mg aciphex - 2 x daily) that races up my throat due to vomiting that causes my throat to swell. It is something that comes and goes.
I assured the doctor that I had no more heartburn and just the Lump feeling and he still prescribed AciPhex (20 mg per day). I took it not suspecting that I potentially did not need it. The Lump feeling went away after just 1 to 2 days. I was fine and I stopped taking the AciPhex after about a week. I went on completely symptom free for another 7 days (about two weeks total).
Then, regretfully and stupidly, I drank again for a couple of days (around Feb 5th).
Surgeon says my symptoms do not match with gall bladder disease. Sometimes after I eat, I feel like my blood pressure drops way low. May sound weird, but if I rock back and forth in rocking chair I can hear swishing of fluids righ below my breast bone. What can I have done to check for what this problem may be?

I have been on Aciphex 20 since 2007, with instant results. After changing Health Ins. , I am told by the current insurer that they won't cover Aciphex. I must go thru a step program, starting with Nexium, which my Doctor dosed at 40 mg instead of 20 mg, saying Nexium didn't come in 20 and the 40mg of Nexium is comparable to the 20 mg Aciphex . Questions: (1) Is the above true? (2) Are the side effects the same, and (3) What's the difference between the two.
I have for the past 10 years been on Aciphex 20mg for to much acid in my stomache, I was at 4 times the normal amount but now I have about 7 times to normal amount I have been taking 2 aciphex pills in the am and 1 in the evening. When I had my last scope I also had alot of irritation and alot of stomache polyps. I have latlely been having alot of diarreha about 2 hours after I eat and I'm generally not feeling well.
I am a 54 year old women who has had palpitations and arrhythmia for about 6-8 years. I have seen 2 cardios. and 1 electrocardiologist. First I was told I had supraventricular tac., then I was told by the electrocardiologist, after wearing an event monitor for 3-4 days that it was pacs and pvcs, and said I broke the records on events called in. He said this is not fatal, and to relax. I have stopped using caffine and other stimulants but nothing helps.
This is a medication question. My routine now is Blood Pressure and Synthroid meds approx. 6 AM. Hold off on eating any fiber and taking Prevacid for GERD until 4 hrs. later.
I do allow myself non fiber eggs during that interval but my heartburn and empty stomach are uncomfortable during that time. I wonder if taking Prevacid 4 hrs. prior to Synthroid (middle of the night) would work. Any suggestions?
I wake up with numb hands alot sometimes up my arms too. Pressure is normal and I am on Crestor at the maximum dose, toprol xl, coumadin, plavix, hyzaar, aciphex, hay fever meds. Also, for the last 6 months my Mean corpusle size has been high. Other tests ok... so my doctor is not real concerned. Anyhow, I am alittle concerned. Do you folks have any ideas at Med whatever this is?
well I am going to see my GI doc monday.. I have GERD and was taking AcipHex but had to stop when I found out I was pregnant.. so I am hoping it is just severe GERD related to that.. however, my lower back (flank, both sides) )is hurting more this morning, where the kidneys are.??? I am just wondering if the 2 can be related.. took pepto bismol last night and that seemed to help the stomach pain a little, but not completely... thanks for input!
had mylanta and prilosec and the situation got improved.. doctor recommended aciphex and currently i am on that.. situation seems to get better but at times, the condition that I have something stuck in throat and a little difficulty to swallow flares up. Got a sore throat a couple of days back. but now it is better. feeling weak and has muscle pains occasionally.. any ideas? should i expect improvement only after a while? currently i am on the 15th day of taking aciphex...
He recommended I go back on Aciphex or another PPI and to take Benadryl. This seems to make sense. I asked my GI about my hypersalivation problem but he did not know what the cause could be. After the Endoscopy and the H. Pylori visit, the GI doesn't wanted to be bothered. Anyone else have a similar experience?
