fundoplication and near total gastrectomy due to the damage of vagues nerve, now I have severe achalazie and gastropareses of the remaining part of the stomach and small intestine MY problem is I CAN NOT vomit, since fundopl, even now, I suffer with nausea, cramps, pain, foams, etc etc and can not induce vomiting, not even with self induced methods.
I have the same problem which I, too, thought might be caused by Omeprazole. I did find, like CalGal, a link between Omeprazole and a cough, and it was also causing itchy skin down my spine area. Changing my PPI to Lansoprazole recently has not made the slightest difference, and I continue to cough all day and all night, a dry, irritating cough.
I also have gastritis, oesophagitis, a Hiatus hernia, none of which had been symptomatic other than nausea, and a lack of desire to eat.
Commonly the swallow is damaged after a stroke, causing risk of aspiration (food and liquids entering the lungs), and this is why they may opt for a nasogastric feed (tube down nose) or a peg feed (tube into stomach) if your mother was unable to speak to give consent for the procedure then the consent has to come from the family...
From reading this post i'm gathering this is what happened? If it wasn't, please forgive me.
The NG tube is very uncomfortable, many people with them have runny noses, and after awhile the area gets very sore. Although the Peg tube can be just as bad, patients seem to not bother them as much ...my mother pulled her NG tube out all the time.
My mothers therepy stopped after a year...of course a lot of it had to do with insurance and not wanting to pay for someone that they saw as not getting any better.
The music idea from the other poster is great.
You cat is still young. Find a veterinary surgeon in your area who can place a peg tube directly into your cats stomach, so that he can be tube fed. Have that vet take blood to do a test for Bartonellosis. Request that your vet place your cat on Zithromax. If you are not interested in having a peg tub placed than you must have your cat force fed and placed on IV fluids, at least, at an emergency hospital.
My dad had a massive stroke in December of 2007. He is currently being fed by a PEG tube and I have spent countless hours researching anything that might help. I found a system called Vital Stim Therapy. The therapy uses a machine that massages the muscles used for swallowing. I believe it stimulates the area with electrical impulses.
The treatment is said to be highly successful. 98% show improvement with about 35% being able to swallow and eventually remove the PEG tube.
I have a feeling of pressure above my cheekbone between my temple and ear (roughly in the middle) what could it be? I'm taking nasonex (oral nose) and omeprazole (oral pill) i've had this feeling for 3 days now.
My father had a stroke a few weeks ago and opted for the PEG before going for the NG tube as he just does not like something in his nose and thoulgy iy would impeded him from doing throat exercises. I was present when the docotrs said an NG was only a temporary measure.
I wish the best for your Grandfather and yourself. I know this is a hard road, but please ask about the PEG feeding and just maybe.....
MY 81 YR OLD FATHER WITH ALZHEIMER HAD A PEG ( FEEDING TUBE) FOR 4 MONTHS NOW, BECAUSE HE COULD NOT INGEST ANY FOOD ORALLY. ABOUT ONE MONTH HE SUDDENDLY RECOVER HIS ABILITY TO EAT THROUGH HIS MOUTH, BUT A FEW DAYS AGO THE FEEDING TUBE WAS SUCKED INTO THE STOMACH SPONTANEOUSLY, WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS ? WHAT ARE THE DANGERS.
Following steam you do the valsalva maneuver (done by taking a deep breath and blowing while pinching your nostrils and closing your mouth) to relieve pressure from internal ear and blocked Eustachian tube (tube connecting ear to throat). Relieving this pressure may relieve some symptoms. You can repeat this a few times. Do this 2-3 times in a day. Once the pressure is relieved, you will feel the difference. Hope this helps. Take care!
She has now developed a high fever and blod clots in her arms and legs and has been readmitted ot the ICU and is being administered a low dose of heparin to thin the blod so the clots don't grow and so that hopefully over time that we be absorbed by the body. She has a greenfield filter. She also has a stomoch pic (S?) to provide more food than she was geting form the feeding tube in her nose.
My dad had a stroke on June 3. Still being in hospital, and unable to follow commands, they haven't tried a swallow test. Instead, he got a Gj tube inserted, and ever since then he has been constantly hiccupping on every breath he takes. When he sleeps, he does not hiccup, though. We noticed a significant drop in his responsiveness since the hiccups started, and believe that they are causing him a lot of distress. Doctors have tried giving him medications, but nothing worked so far.
Since that time my ability to speak has deteriorate. My ability to eat is limited to Ensure and pureed soups only. I have had a PEG tube by which I give mself adequate fluids and crushed medications.
Within the past month my left arm has become very weak and my fingers less agile. I depend on my iPad, texting on my iPhone and my computer for communication. I still drive but it is very limited. I know that the progression is unavoidable but so hope for the time of inativity to be short.
s patients usually have low or no acid which makes me concerned about taking this. And I read about ensuring you space out when you take omeprazole. I also have low ferritin and was taking iron, which I saw online is contradicted.
Does anyone have experience with taking this?
