709686 tn?1277432159 maybe a little weight loss. Omeprazole (Prilosec or Zegerid) causes me all kinds of problems. Headache, chest pain, red/irritated eyes, all kinds of body aches, constipation and extreme thrist. Problem is...protonix is by script only and VERY EXPENSIVE! Someone talk to me about this. Has anyone else experienced these problems with Omeprazole?
Avatar n tn Sorry this is going to be a long one. It all started one day at work. I was driving to a job and felt a pressure in my chest. Considering my family's history of heart disease I took this very seriously and went to the ER right away despite the fact I'm only 29. They did all sorts of tests including one they said meant they were 99% sure I did not have a heart attack. Despite this the slight pressure in my chest has continued ever since.
Avatar f tn Three common side effects of omeprazole are nausea, mild diarrhea, and headache. Omeprazole also lists as possible side effects, though not common, of constipation, depression and anxiety. I remember getting a nasty headache while on omeprazole myself, unlike my usual migraines. The doctor suggested I go off of the drug, see if the headache stopped and go back on it to see if it started up again.
Avatar m tn My 4 year old son has been prescribed 20mg omeprazole for unknown stomach pain. I heard that PPIs such as this can increase the risk of pneumonia and he has a horrible chest cold. cough right now, should I discontinue taking this medication until this passes? Are the chances of it turning into pneumonia greater if he is on omeprazole? Or is this risk factor only for prolong use?
Avatar m tn I was having panic attacks which caused me to have a little bit of acid reflux one time so my doctor prescribed me a generic form of omeprazole to take twice daily 20mg 2x a day, I took it for over 2 months, and within the 2 months my anxiety and panic got worse to the point where when I would try to eat my heart would race and put me in a panic attack. This drug seemed to have increased my anxiety/panic attacks.
Avatar m tn Following a valve replacement and triple bypass I was discharged from Hospital with a number of drugs and a new one being Omeprazole. I did not know why it was prescribed but after a number of months taking it I decided after discussion with my Doctor to stop taking it. A few months later through the night I got this terrible chest pain on a scale of 1-10 I guess it was 7-8.
Avatar m tn At first my wife had urinary infection, few weeks later she started to have fever and stomach problems, the docter told her it was a gastroenteritis. I bought her omeprazole and gave her amoxicilline, that worked. She felt fine, but few weeks later she had urinary infection symptoms again. The doctor gave her antibiotics again, that helped her.
Avatar f tn I have GERD and a hiatal hernia and have been taking omeprazole twice a day every day for a few months (I had been on Prevacid for several years before the omeprazole but insurance won't cover it any more). If your main symptom is burping, I would try going off of the omeprazole and switching to gas-x or some other type of gas relief medicine. As long as you aren't having a lot of problems with heartburn or acid reflux, you would probably be fine to discontinue using the omeprazole.
Avatar n tn is omeprazole a nercotic pain killer? i know some medications that may b addicting so i thought i would double check..also i had seen that u can take in an i.v is this true and if so how?
Avatar n tn I keep forgetting to take my omeprazole dr 20 mg 30 minutes before meals, can I take it after the meal.
Avatar m tn Hi, Do you think a different manufacturer, could possibly make a slightly diffrent product,or maybe a different coating ? that could change the makeup of Omeprazole, or any other product for that matter.
Avatar n tn Now due to the pregnancy, it seemed to worsen as I experience painful heartburns. My doctor recommends I take omeprazole along with antacids. I've been taking antacids because I know they don't bare side effects on pregnancy. I am not sure though with omeprazole. I'm scared. I am afraid it might harm the baby. Anyone here experienced the same?
Avatar m tn Hi. I am taking omeprazole for laryngopharyngeal reflux for the past 2 days. I am supposed to take two pills daily, one before breakfast and one before dinner. Today, i started having this feeling that food is stuck in my chest and back of my throat but I don't have any problems swallowing. It is an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. I did not have this symptom prior to starting the drug. Is this a side effect of the drug?
Avatar n tn He was diagnosed with CHF, coronary artery disease, hypersensitive heart disease, cardiomayopathy, artic atherosclerosis. The dr prescribed spirolactone, omeprazole, amiodarone, furosemide, carvedilol, and lisinopril. They released him to hospice care. I know it means end stage CHF, My dad has been having problems with low blood pressure (85/49), constant headache and dizziness, in which he fell the other day.
1200613 tn?1265341246 Four days ago I had a headache, started feeling slightly dizzy, noticed my hands were shaking, and felt a weak bought of nausea. These symptoms have not subsided. The shaky hands symptom has lessened but the nausea has gotten worse. I am also very very tired but figured that was from the barrometer dropping and it raining so much. (which would not be the cause of the others) I have no appitite and food seems to make this worse.
Avatar f tn Sometimes what we think is GERD is actually a problem with the 'swallow' reflex. I'd suggest follow the idea of Selma who moderates this board to raise the head of your bed about six inches, just find some blocks of wood to raise it. Keep in mind, most hospitals will accept patients who don't have insurance, and will accept small monthly paybacks. Check with your hospital's policy. Do check with your hospital and then find some relief. Keep us informed.
Avatar n tn iam 30, having burn in my stomach for the last 10 years associated with headache and is aggravated by taking meal...i have done endoscopy H pylori ...they were normal....now wAt shd i do......i wl be thankful if u suggest a prescription...
974371 tn?1424653129 It can take several days for the Omeprazole to start working. Did your Dr say if you can Take Pepcid AC? I don't have the same condition as you but the Pepcid seems to help more than Pepto Bismol.
Avatar m tn Three days ago I ran into a light poll while I was running and blacked out for just a few minutes. I came to and my roommate tried keeping me concious, but I don't remember any of our interactions or even what had happen until they told me the next day. I have pain and bruising above my left eye and slightly under it. I'm a smoker, and two days later I noticed smoking making my stomach feel kind of unsettling and giving me a slight headache. This has never happened before.
Avatar m tn I take ranitidine 150 mg twice a day myself. Omeprazole gave me a lousy headache. You might also try small frequent meals. In case you are gum chewing, that can stimulate saliva production. I think maybe the doctor would have to be feeling your throat from the outside and having you swallow to detect thyroid nodules. My dad recently had an ultrasound since his throat has been bothering him and they found multiple nodules on his thyroid.
Avatar f tn I was having nausea and mid back pain went to doc said sinus infection but not feeling sinus pain. I have been on antibiotic for week still have some headache, midback pain, nausea all the time. Positive not pregnant. Tested for baldder infection due to some stomach discomfort. All was clear. Where do I need to go from here?
Avatar f tn Last Sunday I started getting a headache. And it still has not gone away. The next day I felt lightheaded and nausea. Tuesday and Wed. I felt fine except for the headache. Then Yesterday at work I was giving a massage and got clammy, cold sweets, lightheaded and blacked out. I sit down and drank some water. later that night the vomiting came. Woke up this morning still with the headache. I Keep checking and I don't have a fever. Never have gotten headaches before.
Avatar f tn I have short breath, difficult breathing, chest congestion, deep tiredness, night sweat, swollen lymp node, sore throat, coating on tongue, bumps on back tongue, rash, numbness, fatigue, joint pain, headache, fever, nausea, heartburn, itch.... Seven months ago I got h. Pylori and chronic gastritis, and four months ago took antibiotics for 10 days, 9 weeks ago had unprotected anal and oral sex. 8 week after sex tested with 4 generation test and result negative.
Avatar n tn Is it possible to have a reverse reaction to Nexium / omeprazole? It never really made the symptoms of my recently diagnosed hiatal hernia caused reflux (lump in throat, mostly) go away. It seemed to help for 2 weeks, but after 1 month it seemed to aggravate GERD symptoms. I am reading a lot on the subject, experimenting with diet and relaxation and the occasional spoonful of Maalox. I relate to the person who said they felt fine until after the endoscopy.
