Common Questions and Answers about Nexium with alcohol

nexium

Avatar n tn Hello. 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 f tn Hello, I am an 18-year-old female recently diagnosed with chronic gastritis. I tried alcohol for the first time when I was about 14 - just a few sips. It was immediately followed by excruciating pain in my stomach. Every time since then, if I have more than a few sips, it feels like I'm going to die. In May of 2009, I started feeling extreme pain and nausea after eating high acidic foods. Then recently (July 2009), after having an upper endoscopy done, I was diagnosed with chronic gastritis.

Avatar m tn burning has ceased for the most part and I am following strict diet, having my first alcohol this weekend with no real stomach issues following. Still no spicy foods or coffee. My friends think this doctor is a pill pusher and I fear that his diagnosis (he just felt the upper porion of my stomach between my ribs to make the diagnosis) was not very thorough. I have only had 1 dark stool bowel movement and my stomach hurts most when I am stressed about test results, etc.
Avatar m tn I take 40mg daily of nexium daily. I was having acid attacks even with the Nexium, alway at night when sleeping. I have the wedge, extra pillows etc. Garvistan, Tums next to my bed. I once asked Dr. when could I stop Nexium he said I would need to lose weight. I have low iron, low B levels. Thinning hair etc. I already have spinal stenosis. I have been on Nexium for at least 10 years. Anyone out there who's been able to quit Nexium, let me know how and how long it took.
Avatar m tn I treated with NEXIUM(40mg) with good results,however on tx. I was told the proton pump inhibitors(nexium prevacid etc)were prohibited,however the H2 antacids were allowed.
1580703 tn?1651904887 how can central apneas be caused by GERD or acid?? my ENT scoped me and saw a really red throat, even after 20mg of nexium I feel sick after a meal and nauseous/about to vomit. I've started to take gaviscon and zantac too, GI recommended zantac before bed and ENT said 80mg of nexium/day, but in divided dose I also have a 3+ or level 4 dust mite allergy, could that cause my sleep breathing problems which have crippled my life??
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed w/Barrett's esophagus last summer. My specialist told me to come back in 3 years and be re-tested to see if it had returned to normal. Can your esophagus ever be normal again? I think my doc's a quack! He only prescribed Zantac 150 3x's a day, and told me I could continue to drink coffee all day long (I'm a 6 cupper) and drink alcohol at night (which I've been doing), My primary care dr.
Avatar m tn Since taking the Nexium I have had little issue with Reflux apart from the odd flare up - usually caused by alcohol and spicy foods which would only last 24 hours. The PPI's have been so effective that I have been able to eat almost what I want, when I want. However, over the last 2/3 weeks I have been suffering from bad Heartburn. This is unusual because I normally rarely get Heatburn.
Avatar n tn My friend has hep C with mild cirrhosis. The Nexium he is taking is giving him awful cramps (proven by discontinuing the Nexium). Can ranitidine be used safely with a damaged liver?
Avatar f tn I realized I had to do something about it because my throat was taking to much abuse from the acid mixed with Nexium I guess. I found a book with natural remedies. I found out that acid reflux was simply an acidic imbalance and could be rebalanced by raw organic celery or an even much more powerful acidic balancer is raw organic unrefined apple cider vinegar. Remember it has to be organic or it won't work.
751422 tn?1265510035 hi i have GERD and I am taking Nexium 2x a day to combat it. over the past few days, I've felt good duting the day but before bed, I feel this burning sensation in my chest area. it feels like hunger pain, but I dont feel hungry. can someone tell me how to get rid of this? i dont feel hungry, just a burning sensation in my chest. I take 2 Nexium pills a day. One in the morning and one after I eat dinner. i have been doing this for a month or so now.
Avatar m tn I was givin an ultrasound and a upper GI barium swallow and all test came back negative and I was told I was fine. Then they told me that I must have acid reflux, but when I take Nexium or Prilosec nothing helps. Is there anyone that can recommend something? Or have anything to suggest to my doctor? It is very unbearable and has caused me to become very depressed. Also occasionally I feel a sharp pain in my stomach when I breath in.
Avatar m tn re=related As of 90 days ago, I also stopped eating chocolate, stopped drinking coffee, alcohol and sparkling water began taking natural papaya enzyme with meals and chewable calcium after meals. The calcium helps the LES valve to close. I now eat a 95% low fat starch based vegan diet. i eat a much smaller meal at dinner than ever before and I do not eat after 5:30 or 6:00. I go to bed at 9:30 or so and it's best not to have eaten anything within 3 hours of bedtime.
Avatar m tn i have had a endoscopy and that doc says i have some inflamation in my stomach and put me on 2 nexiums a day. i was on prevacid before that with not much help. the nexiums seem to help a little but i still have chest pain that goes up into my neck and shoulders about 1-2 times a week. the pain is not bad but it is there and it is not normal. my regular doctor has gave me a ekg at 2 different times and both are normal. he also gave me a treadmill stress test and that was normal also.
Avatar m tn Has put me on 40mg Nexium. So far have had no relief with the contricted feeling in my throat and still have heartburn at night. She told me to cut back on alcohol and smoking ( I only smoke 10 smokes a day). Other than that there were no dietary changes. Have appt to see her again in 6 weeks to see if medication is working or not.
Avatar f tn I went to my Dr today and told me to take nexium, is the safest thing right now, and my nurse told me that in Walmart they have a sale, 42 pills for $23.
Avatar m tn I have suddenly came up with GERD. I have very rarely felt acid coming up in to my chest. One night I woke up with difficulty in breathing and severe gagging. After few days of running around one doctor diagnosed a sever Pharyngitis and prescribed me with penicillin for ten days and referred me to an ENT surgeon. ENT surgeon agreed with the Doctor and asked me to see a Gastor Consultant.
Avatar f tn HI, I'm taking nexium for GERD which I've had for many years. Currently, I'm not having any issues with GERD while taking the nexium. The only time I have had a "flare up" I usually know what caused it (eating something spicy). My doctor wants me to have an Upper GI to "see if things are ok". I don't like to have tests like that unless they are absolutely necessary.
Avatar f tn Yes, Nexium is completely safe to take with hepatitis C.
Avatar n tn Im 34 and in great shape, lift 4-5 days per week, low blood pressure 120/80 / 110/70 with a total cholesterol of 175. I've been on nexium for 2 years from messing up my stomach from vicodin and coffee. The last year I've been experiencing constant belching and bloating in my stomach after certain foods but staring to belch a lot after all meals. I'm now experiencing my heart skipping beats during my belching bouts, and when I go out and drink alcohol.
Avatar m tn Where to begin? I'm 44 and have suffered from GERD for 14 years. Seems like everything went downhill when I reached 30. I've been on and off PPIs since then and these include prevacid, nexium, aciphex, etc. Now I try to get by with prilosec every now and than because I don't like the side affects of these medications. In the past 14 years I have also suffered with PVCs which began at the same time as the GERD and they seem to be connected.
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.
