Avatar n tn I've been dealing with gerd issues for the last half year. Colonoscopy and endoscopy were negative. I did do a series of rolling barium stomach xray which did show my stomach was on a roller coaster ride. I've been on most of the meds for gerd, from Zantac to Nexium to Lansoprazole to Pantoprazole. In December I started to develope numbness in my left foot and right hand. (Last night I noticed my left anke was swollen.
Avatar m tn Problem is the doctors deny the side effects are associated with the medication. I'v tried it. They act like its all in my head. However, having been on PPI for years now I can assure you that I have ALL the side affe cts that you mention here. If I knew what else to take I woulod but with a hernia, and a govt that will only give operation's as a last resort I am stuck with it.
Avatar f tn I was put on Esomeprazole 20 but i had very bad side effects especially dizziness and body weakness... I went back to the doctor who changed the medication to Lansoprazole 30mg but still i feel like there is no improvement on the dizziness and body weakness. I am also having heart palpitations which i think are from anxiety. Other side effects i am having include tingling sensation in arms and legs, chest tightness, headaches, sore throat and cough with sputum...
Avatar f tn I will do. Thank you.
Avatar m tn also, tell her parents right away. This is someting not to be take likely. You don't know if it's side effects, or possible early signs of a brain hemorrage.
Avatar m tn pylori after having a breath test done, and have been prescribed by my doctor - lansoprazole 30 mg - metronidazole 400 mg - amoxicillin 500 mg. All three medacation taken twice a day for a 7 day course.I am now into the 5 th day of taking them.There seems to be no side effects, the problems of bloating,discomfort (painfull at times) that comes and goes througout the day,has not eased at all. If these combanation of tablets were going to work,would my symptons have eased by now ?.
Avatar f tn I understand that this is quite a high dose normally given under clinical supervision when someone is admitted to hospital with uncontrolled asthma. There is an enormous list of side-effects and I am not willing to add these to the problems I already have when I have no firm diagnosis of the problem. I am now awaiting further blood tests and a spirometry test. I have started to wonder whether what I am experiencing now are side-effects of the lansoprazole????
Avatar m tn Severe gastritis can cause shortness of breath. The side effects of acid blockers however are long and very unpleasant. You are what you eat and what you absorb! If you want to help with gastritis then try digestive enzymes containing proteases.
Avatar f tn My children did not have any adverse effects from the medication. I don't really have any specific food triggers, either. I have severe reflux and eosinophilic esophagitis. I quite often sleep in my recliner.
547002 tn?1219797376 I took/take Prevacid for 6 weeks and also have terrible side effects from it. Anxiety gone through the roof, muscle twitching in my throat, depression beyond believe. I was supposed to take 30 mg a day but because I had a really bad swallowing problem (turned out those were actually anxiety crampings of my throat) I took a few times 60 mg a day (morning and evening a 30 mg).
567392 tn?1216751526 My mom was diagnosed with lymphoma of her stomach. The lining of her stomach is surrounded by malignant tumors. Her doctors are trying different rounds of meds. One is called Prev Pak. She has to take this for 2 weeks and then she is going back to the doctor to see if there is a change int he tumors. If not, then she will have to do chemo. My question is... how is this medicine suppose to work. I have researched Prev Pak and have'nt found much info.
Avatar m tn Prilosec, Nexium Side Effects: Acid Reflux Medication Heart Attack Class Action Lawsuit Investigation A recent study found that proton pump inhibitor heartburn treatments such as Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid may be linked to an increased risk of heart attack, heart failure or sudden cardiac death.
Avatar m tn I was told a couple of years ago that i was getting the side effects of some stomach medication i was on (lansoprazole) and have since come off them. I am now having another episode of the symptoms above. I was searching the internet and found hypokalemia which seem to have similar symptoms. Does anyone know any more about this condition and/or whether they think i might have it.
1806721 tn?1554333407 Hi...both meds are PPI's and work the same...getting off either needs to be done with the help of ur Dr, u need to step off slowly ot avoid the rebound effect of this med. PPI's stop production of the acids, when u stop taking the meds, it flips the on switch and many times our system makes too much all at once and we feel the same as we did b4....this is y it is very important to slowly step off these meds and know u may have some GERD until ur body adjusts.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn I will do that it seems the higher dose has created this and I'm not on anything else.
Avatar f tn Many AD's have side effects that affect the libido, guess it applies to both sex es. As far as I know all AD's have this drastic effect . Hopefully you'll find one that's OK for you . Good luck.

Avatar f tn Does anyone know of any side effects from using the circulation booster. I have the opportunity to buy a second hand one, but my brother believes it can't be good for your muscles to zap them so to speak, like it will confuse your muscles.
Avatar n tn Hi. I am on week 60/72, second round of treatment. I was really really sick after shot for first few months and then this resolved and became tolerable at least. I now find that I am having these same significant side effects later in tx. This didn't happen last round, but I went 48 then. Anyone else have this happen?
