Be aware that like most antiemetics and antacids, not all meds work on all dogs, so once you have found something that works its worth sticking with it. Zofran tends to be reasonably priced, so it may be worth giving it a try from that point of view.
1534233 tn?1523388856 My doctor says the chest pains and burning sensations are probably gastric or maybe caused by anxiety. He prescribed omeprazole in July, I took 10 and saw no change although I did blame an attack of palpitations on them. I have started on Omeprazole again, for 4 days now (20 mg once a day). I see no improvement and get burning feeling on chest for long periods, its usually relieved when I lay down.
Avatar m tn ht I am making one such suggestion which you can follow and see. Omeprazole is a good drug to combat this. Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. Avoid heavy meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed or raise pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food.
Avatar m tn My doc seemed amazed that the stomach could affect the heart and didnt seem to believe the specialist. Am dazed and confused and sick of worrying about my heart. I also once had a dream in which on three different occasions my heart was torn from my body. On one instance I was a Mayan sacrifice and the other I remember took place during the second world war. I was a doctor and had been caugh and my heart cut out. I cant remember the third.

Avatar m tn I ate more meat, food rich in fiber and psyllium fiber. My stool are now formed and soft in my first Po-Poh in the morning and after 30 min, my second po-Poh is watery again. What causes this? Is this anxiety related? Should I continue taking antacids?
Avatar m tn I noticed that whenever I had no pains and I ate a meal, the pain would come together with the need to pass gas. And whenever I had pains, eating food and antacids would stop the pain. Today I went back to the hospital and a different doctor gave me the following meds: -omeprazole -suntacids -chlordiazepoxide she told me that it was still a gastric flu, but a different form from the usual kind of gastric flu.
Avatar f tn Maybe one of the antacids like prevacid, prilosec. Another one is Omeprazole that you can buy over the counter. Two more, Pepcid and Zantac. Otherwise, go to the doc.
Avatar n tn This is my 7th pregnancy ( mummy to 3 angels) I've never experienced heartburn before but feel weird and very acidic. I've been taking antacids but don't want to over do them. My symptoms are strange feeling In My chest , I keep belching and having an acid taste in my mouth and constant feeling to be sick but when I do its just acid.
Avatar f tn Also if nothing is found then food challenge test to detect food intolerance should be done. If Omeprazole and antacids do not help, go to a walk in clinic and consult a doctor there. Take care!

Avatar f tn Thank-you for your answer. I just got a letter from my Dr. saying that my hormones are lower then she expected and have been referred to a gynecologist.
Avatar f tn Pain in your chest (behind your left breast) could be acidity or heart burn. Antacids give relief. The other reason could be due to esophageal reflux, where the food in your stomach is thrown up into your food pipe or esophagus. This also causes burning sensation or discomfort/pain in the chest area. Cough or heart problems too cause discomfort/pain in chest area. I would strongly recommend you see a physician about this.
Avatar n tn This drug can upset the stomach and should be taken with or after food. Some doctors prescribe omeprazole to protect the stomach when taking Ibuprofen, but if you are using the Doxycycline, you will not be able to have any antacids. If your doctor has prescribed you with these medications, he/she should have instructed you on how to correctly take them. As you have to take the Doxy with food and drink a glass of water with it, you should be OK taking the Ibuprofen at the same time.
Avatar f tn I have a new doctor now and she had me do another ECG more recently. It showed I have sinus arryhthmia (normal), and nothing else to explain my symptoms. The last few months, it has been getting worse, making it really difficult to sleep, and a little dizzy. I'm not sure what the cause is, or if it is as simple as anxiety, but everyday all day for 10 years now and it started when I began taking birth control??
Avatar m tn I am going to have to wait another 2 weeks for results and am back taking the omeprazole but my stomach is constanlty bloating up after eating. Is this a side effect of the tablets?? i have been taking these tablets 6 weeks in total but i am stil suffering severly with bloating and my stomach is constanlty rumbling. Does this sound like h pylori or does anyone else suffer sever bloating from these omeprazole tablets.
Avatar n tn Antacids that neutralize stomach acid. Antacids, such as Maalox, Mylanta, Gelusil, Rolaids and Tums, may provide quick relief. But antacids alone won't heal an inflamed esophagus damaged by stomach acid. Overuse of some antacids can cause side effects, such as diarrhea or constipation. Medications to reduce acid production.
Avatar n tn Do deep breathing exercises and regular walk for 20-30 minutes. Take OTC omeprazole 20mg empty stomach everyday along with OTC antacids during the day. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn Basically his comment was “any day that you take omeprazole is a day that your medication is not going to help you” and in all fairness to him I had already read some articles about that. I had been on it for seven years and my health had really spiraled downhill with the onset of hypothyroidism and several auto immune diseases. The issue now is that after 10 weeks of not being on omeprazole I still have so much acid, or heartburn.
Avatar n tn Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. However I would recommend you see a doctor and take medication under a doctor’s supervision. Avoid heavy meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food. Please discuss this with your doctor.

Avatar m tn The pain which you suffered is probably due to some acute gastritis/peptic ulcer pain which typically occurs in the night and is usually associated with nausea. If you take some antacids/omeprazole/pantoprazole, you’ll be fine. Please consult gastroenterologist/physician and you may need an endoscopy in case the symptoms recur on regular basis, otherwise a short course of anti-ulcer drugs should be fine. I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted.
Avatar f tn Also I've been taking it since early second trimester and im now due in less than two weeks and still take it when I need it
