m back on Ranitidine as the side affects of Lansoprazole were unpleasant and just as bad or worse as the GERD. When I stopped taking Lansoprazole I had bad symptoms for a few days but they subsided. However since then my Acid Reflux / GERD has been more or less what it was before starting Lansoprazole. Some days its worse than others.
I've also read about the negative side effects of PPI drugs.
This is because lansoprazole and other proton pump inhibitors weaken the bones and have been linked to the development of osteosteoporosis.
People who are at higher risk for sustaining such injuries are those who take higher doses of this medication and those who take this medication for one year or longer. Also, people who are 50 years of age and older are also at risk of sustaining similar injuries.
You need to get a referral to a Gastro Enterologist and have an Endoscopy (camera to look into your esophagus and deodenum) and then GI Specialist can tell you WHY you have GERD - Hiatal Hernia or LES dysfunction? and see if the GERD has caused any damage or if there are Barrets Esophagus sells, etc.
You are age 51? that is enough reason to get an Endoscopy as you are at a risky age.
You will need to take a combination of medications (under medical supervision) like a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole, lansoprazole or pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning and an antacid gel after meals for complete relief. Possibility of H pylori infection too should be looked into by a carbon urea breath test and a combination antibiotic tried. Many a times a persisting H pylori infection can be the cause behind acidity not responding to treatment.
Anyway, a month later, (yesterday) I was prescribed lansoprazole but I have done some research and it says lansoprazole can cause kidney failure. Should I take these tablets or wait till Friday and get a second opinion from the hospital on my assessment?
I ws perescribed lansoprazole which worked instantly. however after over 2 weeks of no nausea and feeling great the nause has returned....has anyone any words of advice and what i can do to reduce it? my blood levels all came bck clear except for the pancreas one??? which shows levels of 130 as opposed to recommened 100.
The doctor tried me on omeprazoles about 6 mths ago then had me on lansoprazole once a day.After six weeks symptons were much better,and the last 3 to 4 weeks of that time, pain and discomfort were totally gone.
Then it came back boxing day with revenge,then i started taking lansoprazole back
again.
Unable to have any relief ,decided to see doctor again about 3 to 4 weeks ago and it was decided i should have a breath test,which came back 2 weeks later positive.
Doctor gave me prenisolone and antibiotics to check it wasnt an infection but all that happened was my stomach felt like it had been kicked by a horse, I had a horrible taste in my mouth and major acidy feeling. The doc eventually suggested I went back on lansoprazole and after about 3 weeks I felt back to normal.
When I was feeling better I was scheduled in for an endoscopy and the results were bile and acid reflux, esophogisits and gastritis.
It may be u r in a flare and that is y u do not know individual triggers, but u should avoid certain foods, greasy, acidic, spicy, and carbonated bevs....and caffeine.....so coffee and some teas.
I had it so bad one time I got the reflux from water, but that is bcuz everything was so upset, and u have to stick to the modification of ur diet and lifestyle to help calm it down....
My doc prescribed me Lansoprazole gastro resistant as there has been blood in my vomit recently. Has anyone taken it or know anything about it?
Thanks. He was prescribed famotidine and lansoprazole. He is still taking the lansoprazole but it isn't helping.
I will inquire about allergies. I am currently on a one year wait list for an appointment at the allergy clinic, myself.... Maybe they can expedite the process for him?
So she went to the doctors and prescribed Lansoprazole. About a week and a half after the Lansoprazole was prescribed she started to shake. And for about a half a week now its been getting worse and worse. Now she is also having trouble seeing, and is experiencing ear ache's and headaches. While she is still shaking. What could be the issue?
I went to my doc and the EKG was perfect. Also had a blood test and chest xray and he said everything looked fine. So why do my symptomps persist? I read it could be anything, like a blood clot in my chest, although I assume the chest xray would have discovered it. It can't be a panic attack because I am ultra laid back with no worries. If it was heartburn of some kind, why would it affect my breathing? I'm paranoid I do not know what's going on with my body.
t believe, can feel milk fermenting in her even, has pain on feeding and is distressed and cries a lot, and doesn't gain weight despite vast amounts of calories (more than enough for catch-up growth, she's under a dietician). Obviously i stopped the lansoprazole.
Also had a trial of metronidazole by a paediatrician who wasn't convinced of overgrowth - she gained 10oz in one week - the best gain ever! But recurrent symptoms of misery and gassiness.
Hello
I'm going to be having 3 stents inserted into my arteries in a couple of weeks time. My specialist (who will be carrying out the procedure) has asked me to take 600mg of clopigdogrel and 600mg of asprin the night before the procedure, and I'm a bit worried about doing this.
Is it normal practice?
I currently take 75mg of clopidogrel every day.
First of all if you are still thirsty, loosing weight and having ketones, you are not in control. Ketones happen when your blood sugar is too high and your body is breaking down fat to get you energy, therefore you are loosing weight. These are all signs that you are NOT in control. and heading for ketonacidocisis. (Ketonacidosis can lead to serious problems such as coma is the levels are too high for too long.
Also my blood pressure has been going up, something that has never happen to me before and I am on BP medication. I am 29 years old and has never had any medical condition before. All this just started in less than one year. Can somebody help. I am constantly in pain and doctors don't seem to know what is wrong, since they all say everything looks normal besides the lump on my back and my blood pressure.
My worry is the constipation and tiredness and sleepiness she seems to be having. I know she has had this big op and it will have effects but she is a fighter and I do not feel she is fighting as I know her! Please can anyone help with any advise or if this extreme fatigue is normal. She has low potassium . She is fit and healthy in weight and got appetite. Does this cancer move aggressively? She had it one yr before it was diagnosed.
