Avatar m tn i am about to start taking nexium again which they kept me off of during treatment . i heard nexium can make your viral load go sky high . can a drug or bad eating bring you back from non detectible to having the virus ? I dont drink or do narcotic drugs . am i just being paranoid . doctor says its ok to take the nexium . i saw this guy floydd wright on youtube who says do not take nexium if you have hep c . has anyone heard of nexium being dangerous to induce hep c ?
Avatar f tn Yes, Nexium is completely safe to take with hepatitis C.
Avatar f tn Nexium is just fine to take on treatment as is the other PPI's. My hepatologist ordered me Nexium during tx and then led me go to Prilosec or prevacid when the became OTC. And sense i'm now SVR there wasn't a problem with them.........
1580703 tn?1651904887 I have GERD/sleep apnea and woke up hyperventilating for years. Is there a treatment for it? Is protonix the best treatment for GERD? I've been taking nexium, zantac, but still have this terrible sleep apnea. maybe I need nexium at 80mg. I would wake up choking once after eating spicy food and also have hot flashes This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/GERD-Acid-Reflux/Acid-reflux/show/1428776">Acid reflux</a>.
Avatar n tn Hi all. I'm just very curious about this. I had an appointment with a gastro because I'm having twinges on the rib area and think it's due to anti-inflammatories. I've been on Nexium for years, so the GERD is really under control. Immediately I was set up for an endoscopy which is fine, but not what I really wanted. I guess I just wanted to test a drug like Carafate first, for relief, then get the endoscopy if needed.
485077 tn?1222620140 Never took Nexium or any PPI prior to treatment, but took Nexium a day for most of treatment. After treatment, I was able to stop completely. So, treat yourself a little more of that purple pill if it will make your QOL on tx better. In addition, you might also try an H-2 pump like Zantac or Pepsid AC (not Pepsid Complete) at bedtime. Also, an antacid (like Tums, Mylanta) here or there is no problem as long as you space it around 3 hours away from your riba dosing.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with GERD several months ago, and lived with almost daily pain (no meds were really working) until about 2 months ago, when I started Nexium. I was blissfully almost with any symptoms for about 6 weeks, even if I ate common reflux triggers, but now I'm experiencing pain again. Can Nexium just stop working like that? I should add that my diagnosis came after basic blood tests, an endoscopy, an ultrasound to check my gallbladder and a CT scan of my abdomen.
Avatar n tn Hi ZJRC, I have Barrets due to severe GERD and on a waitinglist for the Nissen Fundoplication Surgery. I got the Barrets while I was on 20mg Nexium treatment - so Nexium obviously did not prevent that from happening and after 2 years of a lot of tests and procedures and seeing different Specialists, I am now on 60-80mg Nexium a day, untill I can have the surgery. I hate the idea of taking any medication as "every action has a reaction!".
Avatar m tn I have been taking nexium for the past few months due to gerd. I also wonder how it works.
Avatar f tn I have had this since the beginning of tx, but is is extremely painful and worse now. My doc has prescribed Levsin and Nexium. Nexium makes my joints hurt, so I stopped taking it. Does anyone know of anything I can do or take to make me able to exist w/out pain and GI inflamation? Thanks in advance.
1273473 tn?1270775840 Yes, absolutely. About 3-4 months into treatment, I had heartburn and gerd. Have been taking Nexium and very helpful. I am on the 40mg in the morning and helping. I was also coughing, which I attribute to Riba and gerd. Another SX that will pass. Hope you feel better.
Avatar f tn Inderal 10 mg three times a day and Cap: Nexium 40 mg once a time at evening before the meal .I still having painic attack every day one or two time ,sleeping problem and now during sleep i am having a painic attack taking these makes me more sick and ill .side effects r much worst so my family physician just keep on Tablet : Ativan 2mg at night ,Cap : Nexium 40 mg twice a time in a day ,multivitamin tablet , the result is little bit better than before.
Avatar m tn Turned out I have a Hiatal Hernia with esophegeal inflammation and prescribed Nexium everyday. Riba has aggravated my condition but Nexium keeps it in check.
Avatar m tn 4 years ago Doctor did endoscopy , Ultrasconic scan and diagnosied for GERD.He have Nexium 40mg for a year.After i stopped nexium pain started appearing again.Another doctor did endoscopy again and now diagonised for atrophic Gastritis with intestinal metaplasia.pls somebody let me know how serious is this?
Avatar f tn I was put on prilosec with no difference then zantac 300 mg and now nexium. The zantac showed improvement. Then went to a gastro and he changed me to 40 mg Nexium with marked improvement. I had an ultrasound, hyda scan both normal. I then had an endoscopy that showed stomach was irritated and and a raw spot in my esophagus. It appeared to be healing. I have changed what I eat and how with little difference.
Avatar m tn My father is a liver transplant waiting patient with a MELD score of 17 at NYP in NY, just wanted to know his chances to get interferon treatment (since he had never had the treatment before)while waiting for a new liver to stop the virus form recurring after the transplant surgery. His last Platelet count was 27000, and weights 120 lb.
Avatar m tn In many cases, problem such as gastritis and esophageal erosion due to GERD precede the development of esophageal spasms. It's thought that the erosive process allows the acid to penetrate through to the underlying nerves and in some manner irritate them enough to cause spasms of the esophagus. Spasms are the presence of uncoordinated muscular movements within the esophagus that can result in a lot of chest pain that often appears to be connected with the heart.
Avatar f tn He followed up with his doctor on this and I do not think they did the right thing by giving him Nexium. Since he has been on the nexium he has gained 20-30lbs and is now feeling bloated and worse than before. I just do not know what to do about this anymore. I do not know what it could be caused from. If maybe I could get a diet for this type of thing so i knew what kinds of foods that would be best for his stomach and or a better diagnosis. Could this be IBS? We will be following up with a G.
