heartburn

4268628 tn?1375041176 Thanks. I was healthier during my last pregnancy than this one is starting out. Hopefully that means I won't get the heartburn or morning sickness like I did last time.
Avatar n tn On the fifth day I started having moderate and continual pain between my sholder blades in the upper back and heartburn (no heartburn for 25 years previously) and extreme fatigue. I thought it was the pneumonia and didn't go to the doctor for five days. My blood test then showed troponin was high, doctor said I may have had a heart attack. Doctor wanted a stress test ... which showed normal. Cholesterol is 265. Brother had coronory bypass at age 42. I have no other health problems.
Avatar f tn Hello. I just had a pneumonia almost 2 months ago and i had ulcer last November but already been cured by pantoprazole domperidone. Now i feel like my ulcer reoccured again coz im having heartburn,stomach pain and bloating and nauseous. My question is can i take pantoprazole again even though i just had pneumonia and still having shortness of breath and chest pain? Pls help coz i dont know what really is the cause of my difficulty in breathing is it from having pneumonia or my ulcer.
Avatar n tn t a specific diagnosis of what caused the pneumonia. Most pneumonia is infectious, and is most times caused by strep bacteria, so they throw antibiotics at it, and see how the patient responds, there are more aggressive atypical bacterial pneumonia that may require more aggressive treatment, also a persons age, and strength of their immune system is a major factor as well. But there are also viral, fungal, or less commonly parasitic causes of pneumonia.
Avatar f tn Ok so it's been a week that I've been having horrible heartburn, my chest hurts extremely bad it's hard to breath I also feel like there is something literally stuck in my throat!! I have tried zantac but it seems not to work at all has anyone had this before and what did u do to make it go away?
Avatar f tn The phlegm is white and bubbly or foamy. Someone told me they thought I might have pneumonia. But I spit up mostly after I eat or drink anything. and at night. I feel like I have to clear my throat a lot. I also have developed a stuffy nose that just started in the past two days. I can't tell if I have acid reflux or pneumonia or what. Is white foamy phlegm (that comes mostly after eating)a sign of pneumonia though?
Avatar f tn I have had hoarseness of varying degrees since 9/2012, when I was hospitalized with pneumonia. I was subsequently hospitalized in 12/12, 1/13, and 6/13 with pneumonia also. During the 1/13 hospitalization, they finally discovered that I had chlamydia pneumoniae and said it was likely to have been the cause of earlier episodes of pneumonia. I had a horrible, dry, hacking cough that did finally improve about mid-February.
446049 tn?1649005835 She sent me for chest xrays and started me on Albuterol inhaler, ZPak antibiotic (Azithromycin) for 5 days and mucinex. The xrays came back negative for pneumonia but indicated lungs were minimally hyperinflated. I've never smoked. I feel a bit better but still have the cough.(4 weeks now). Would Erythromycin be a better antibiotic to stop this cough?
9109315 tn?1408617920 Really oj don't give you heartburn, oj gives me heartburn. Real ice cold Water works for me..lol we are opposite. I try not to eat right before bed, and tums I love tums that helps me.
Avatar f tn It's the same thing, your belly and baby drop once babys head is engaged. If your doc says your babys engaged then you have dropped. My babys head is engaged but my tummy doesnt look like it's dropped much (and she's so long I still get heartburn and rib kicks).
Avatar f tn A lung infiltrate is any substance that has managed to find its way into lungs and may be caused by of a number of lung diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, pulmonary edema or possible malignancies. Normal lungs show up as dark areas on x-rays because the air inside them allows the x-rays to pass through while infiltrates appear as lighter areas that are more solid that block the passage of x-rays. It is best that you discuss the result with your attending physician for proper evaluation.
1958049 tn?1325094006 Diagnosed with pneumonia a few weeks ago, put on an antibiotic. Cleared the lungs, but the coughing and choking has been extreme. I get to the point where I can't breath in. I am on a nebulizer, 4 x's a day. Gerds and larynx spasm have been mentioned and meds have been given for this. That was on the a week ago. The coughing is not making me weeze as much now, but is still extreme and causing a great deal of pain in my ribs and chest.
Avatar f tn Tums and Maalox are typically the first line over-the-counter medications you can try to relieve heartburn while pregnant. You may find the liquid to be more effective than the tablets as the liquid can also coat your esophagus (between your throat and stomach). Always be certain to inform your doctor of any medications you take (prescription and over-the-counter), and if these treatments have not been effective you should contact your doctor to review next steps.
Avatar f tn Yup. Its the old acid vs base trick. Your heartburn is acid in your esophagus and any form of base would work to coat it. Avoid orange juice, lemonade and spicey foods. Crackers, bread and any form of milk will help. I suggest investing in some zantac. My doctor said its safer than tums or rolaids, as they can damage the lining of your esophagus when taken for a prolonged period.
3777851 tn?1348968120 I have been recently diagnosed with MS. During my initial Neuro visit I was asked many questions about symptoms that I may have been having. This was never one of the questions. However when I brought up the subject on the side to see if she had any ideas of how to reduce this (other than diet and lifestyle change) she told me that this has been a symptom that many of her MS patients have experienced in the past.
Avatar m tn Everyday I have horrible heartburn I wake up everymorning feeling sick to my stomach and I have frequent bowel movements with soft shapless stools and when I wipe there is blood on the toilet paper this has been going on for about 7 to 12 months...
Avatar f tn I had the same problem with the BC Generess but it started about 2 months later. The pill could be too strong for her.
Avatar f tn When you stop eating gluten it can take a week for it to all get out of your system before your heartburn subsides and it could take a day after you eat gluten to start having heartburn so most people can't figure out what is giving them the heartburn. People think spicy foods give them heartburn because they notice it more after eating something spicy...it's the gluten people! But that's just my opinion!
Avatar f tn s one of the reasons a lot of docs suggest that we get the flu and pneumonia vaccinations while on treatment. Ribavirin is not preventative to all viruses.
Avatar m tn I have been prescribed Nexium by my doctor for the past 9 months and it is wonderful in preventing heartburn but after a while I started noticing that my stomach was slower as it would take up to 12 hours to empty my stomach. I recently changed to Prevacid as it recently came out as an OTC and it is my 10th day on it and already feeling the difference.
Avatar f tn I'm the type of person that eats anything and everything I have heart burn every day thou and ok I'll check with my doctor and see if she can give me something

Avatar f tn My chest x ray results found out that there are haziness on my left middle lung which resulted to Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) vs Pneumonia. What does it mean? I really need the advice to start my work soon. I don't feel sick, I don't have cough and cold but sometimes I feel like there's sometjing in my throat and that I have to clear it before speaking. When I spit the phlegm it has clear color. Please it makes me nervous. Can I cure it?
