I recently visited a doctor and was diagnosed with GERD to end up with a prescrip for Omeprazole 40 mg. I generally do NOT feel any reflux in my esophagus. Is this normal or it possible it is not GERD? I have experienced acid reflux up to my mouth [which is very unpleasant], but this is generally a VERY rare occurance. My sister had some 20 mg over the counter Omep. I have been taking 2 of these at the same time, once daily. Should I be taking the 2 for 40 mb or just one?

I have been prescribed OMEPRAZOLE 20 mg capsule for my gastro problem, i.e keep burping and discomfort in sternum and around side and back, also constant bloating. I am on my third day and the burping is slowly disappearing and also the discomfort in my sternum has gone. I am so so so so happy. But I was wonderig how long for it to work completely as I am only on my third day and have been told to take the whole 28 days worth. I would appreciate any advice.

She is fighting so hard to live. In Oct . she started feeling bad everytime my other dog go around her she would yelp . I just thought she didnt want to be messed with. A couple of days went by and she got worse laying around not wanting to do much so we brought her to the Vet. The vet said they thought she must have hurt her neck some how Because it seem stiff. They gave her rimadyl and methocarbamol . Ones for pain and the others is a muscle relaxation.

I got really stressed out today after a stupid argument and my stomach got MUCH worse. I had to take another capsule of omeprazole and eat some hot dogs to relieve the extreme discomfort. Whatever I have, I have just learned never to stress out with it. I had about twenty minutes of the worse discomfort ever! It makes the normal stuff pale in comparison.

The vet suggested not waiting an entire week because being off the metacam that long will be hard on her hips and the tumors are growing. Is it safe to only wait 3-4 days?? She suggested Omeprazole to prevent stomach ulcers. Need a second opinion.

Have been off thyroid pill a month for this test. Everything is good. Working Dog I know you were concerned for the choking feeling you were having so this is good news as I was having that as well. I forget who posted about gerd but doc seems to think that that is what it is. So now on zantac for a few weeks.

You should take a food allergy test along with a skin test for other allergies to rule out allergies. Also you can take OTC Omeprazole and see if this helps. Cut down on caffeine, alcohol, smoking, fuzzy drinks and spicy food and see if this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

I get headaches from even minor exercise - today from taking my dog on a short walk. The headaches can come on quickly, after only a little activity or can come on later. I've had tension headaches for a few years, so I didn't think much of it at first, but now it's starting to impinge on my sex life a bit. I feel like one should feel good after sex, not have a pounding headache that lasts for hours. Any tips on treatment?

First day I ate maybe three tablespoons of macaroni salad and a half a hot dog, second day I had a little potato and a piece of chicken, third time, a grilled cheese sandwich. None of them are foods I was told to stay away from. The pain subsides in about 1 to 3 hours, but comes back worse each time. Oh, and the pain is similar to pain that I had back in January, and they took my right ovary out, so it can't be that this time. The pain is VERY sharp at times, too.

I ate breakfast this morning at 9 and had a bowl of cereal and it is currently 12 and I am trying to eat a hot dog for lunch and I can't finish it. By nighttime i can't even stand eating dinner (usually dinner is at 7) because i feel so full still! I am not depressed or anything and I really want to eat because my parents will call me anorexic when I know I am not anorexic because I want to gain weight and be normal not lose weight! Does anyone know whats wrong with me? Please help!

A couple of weeks after the pH test, while I was taking prescription omeprazole (20 mg I think), twice daily, my symptoms improved a lot. Hardly any coughing or throat clearing. My doctor told me that I could continue on the omeprazole once daily, which I did. I have been fine, up until about May 2011. Now, I have been dealing with the annoying coughing and throat clearing all over again.

You will need to take a combination of medications like a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole, lansoprazole or pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning and an antacid gel after meals for complete relief. Possibility of H pylori infection too should be looked into by a carbon urea breath test and a combination antibiotic tried. Life style changes that will help include: Avoid heavy meals and eat frequent small meals.

I've been to the doctor many times and tried different prescriptions (Protonix, Omeprazole, Prevacid, and all the over the counter ones too) and nothing helps. They help the heartburn a little bit but don't help the burping at all. Is there anything that will help the burping? and is there anything that will help the heartburn. I cut out dairy and caffeine about 4 months ago (that's what the dr told me to do) but it doesn't seem to have made any difference at all.

I have taken just about all meds for reflux. I am now on a generic for Prilosec (omeprazole), and it has seemed to be just fine. I have never been diagnosed with anything major. Yet. I am a bit of a hypochondriac, but I know the issues I have been having are NOT because of my mind going crazy. Every once in awhile, I get SEVERE pains in the chest. I had a stress test done in 2004 while I was in the military, as well as an ultrasound just a couple years later. (Not sure of exact time frame.

There are a variety of medicines you can take. Proton pump inhibitors (PPI)- Nexium, Dexilant, omeprazole (an OTC) and a few others. H2 blockers - Pepecid and ranitidine. I take a PPI in the mid afternoon and an H2 blocker at bedtime. I also treat break through acid with Rolaids. There are many life style changes you can make that will greatly improve symptoms.

I have HCV, and recently I have been experiencing increasing heart burn or acid reflux, or whatever. Is this normal w/HCV? I take Omeprazole Acid reducer, but it's very limited on the desired results, and Tums? Forget about it! Anyone else have this going on with Hep C?

none of the over the counter antiacids worked so I went to my gastroenterologist and he said that I have GERD. He prescribed OMEPRAZOLE daily (before the heaviest meal taken-which for me is dinner-I take it 1/2 hour before dinner) and it is supposed to last me 24 hours of relief.

It's possibly a low-level sinus infection. The smell can be musty, ammonia, burning, or Parmesan-and-dog-poop, (those are the ones i've had). The infection may not be bad enough to cause congestion. Consult an ENT, but if the doc notes sinusitis, hear this: Up-to-date doctors know that antibiotics don’t work against sinusitis.

pain in my ribs and back...he tried to changed me to omeprazole but the side effects of that medicine are really horrible...i'm back to prevazid//just one time in the morning before meals( one hour before) \now i have an apointment in tow weeks to get the test of breath for h pylory...i'm afraid that still is in my body...cause i took too much antibiotics when i was a teen ager for erradicated my acne...so i know antibiotics are not very strong when you get used to them...

I had allergy testing which confirmed dustmites,pollen.cats. dogs etc. I had a CT done a long time ago which was clear, but that was years ago, my ENT diagnosed chronic sinusitus due to secondary allergy, but the treatment hasn't shifted the throat problem and I do get stomach upsets/bloating etc too so am wondering if it could be LPR. If anyone has any idea I would so grateful as this is ruining my life.

Now I can't exercise as I will get so much of the nausea and burning. I can sometimes not even walk my dog now. I have been taking 40 mg omezaprole (20 mg 2X a day) for about 6 weeks now. It has helped a little, it went from unbearable constantly (for the first 3 weeks) to tolerable most of the time since. But it is now getting a little worse yet again. I am 5'9" and 99 lbs, 47 years old. So I can't afford to lose more weight (I usually am about 104 lbs ).

I have to mention that I regularly have a runny nose and a post-nasal drip, this is exacerbated by cold weather conditions I think. Currently no major allergies (just dogs, dust, etc. but not where I'm living right now).

At present the IBS and gastric reflux could be the most aggravated. Special diet precaution needs to be taken along with omeprazole and antacids for reflux. Take care!

Sort of like how some people have allergic reactions to cat/dog fur. I want to see if this works for you guys that dont have the smelly scalp syndrom. If anyone is willing to try an antibacterial shampoo to see if that helps you guys, then maybe we can get somewhere with this. Im determined to get to the bottom of both problems so we wont have to suffer! But I(we) need eachothers help. I would greatly appreciate everyones opinion on this. Thanks guys.
