prilosec

Avatar m tn this is very common--weight loss should keep the liver tests under control
709686 tn?1277432159 Protonix (Pantoprozole) does not give me problems...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 m tn I found a lot of medications that I, personally have been on can cause weight loss and nausea - which really takes away your desire to eat. Maybe the medication he is on is causing him nausea or contributing to him not wanting much to eat. In turn making him feel quite sick. I threw up a lot on my medication and a long time after I had no appetite, and when I ate certain things I felt faint and vomited. Just a thought. Or it might be something else entirely. Take care!
Avatar f tn ve read, the affect of Prilosec is pretty small, and an increase in exercise, sun exposure, weight loss, and a good vitamin can offset the effects of the drug. Keep us informed.
Avatar f tn So, I have been having a horrible burning pain in my stomach and no appetite, in addition to weight loss for 3 weeks. I decided to go to the ER on 1/23/17. The doctor asked me a checklist of questions and said I have gastritis, but did no exams. I was hesitant to take the omeprazole because he did no tests at all.
Avatar f tn I recently joined *********** on line for weight loss help. I have been walking and documenting what I eat. I was surprised to find out how badly I was starving myself. I had a hard time just reaching the lowest end of the chart for the proper amount of nutrients. Which seems so odd how a person can be fat and not eat enough but it all revolves around metabolism. Well since I started getting the proper nutrition and eating 4 smaller meals a day I have felt better by far.
Avatar m tn The breathing issues could be related to the GERD or could be a respiratory cause. Weight loss is something I am concerned about as well. It could occur due to symptomatic IBS or UGI issues, though I would suggest ruling out other possibilities like malabsorption, growths/ masses, hormonal/ endocrine/ metabolic issues, other systemic issues etc. The neurological issues could be related to nutrient deficiencies associated with malabsorption and would need to be considered.
Avatar n tn t have the usual symptoms (nausea, vomiting, weight loss). In fact I have no symptoms at all. I take Omeprazole for acid reflux/hiatal hernia, and I take Synthroid for hypothyroidism. I also take Zetia every other day for cholesterol. All of these are working well, but I hope they are not the cause of my Gastroparesis. I don't want to take anymore medications, especially the ones that are given for Gastroparesis. Since I don't have the usual symptoms, do I really need medication for it?
Avatar f tn I have been having symptoms of a Crohn's flare, severe nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss of 18 lbs in last 6 weeks,steatorrhea, pain in mid chest and right upper quadrant. Had CT scan 2 weeks ago which showed significant inflammation in terminal ileum and old pancreatitis with calcification. Gastroscopy last week showed oesphagitis.Biopsies taken. MRI scan Nov 2007 showed two strictures in small intestine.
Avatar n tn especially with weight loss try to eat more frequently, but mindful of what you eat, drink as it will affect your reflux and how you feel.. See your Dr and let us know what you find out.
Avatar m tn Hello I'm suffering from a kind of idiopathic illness which i have not been treated in spite of referring to many docs and taking many drugs(Reglan,Dompridon, Digestive enzymes, Cudinium c,Omeprazole).my problem is that i can't digest foods well ,and foods remain in my stomach too long so i can't eat enough foods during the day(i have already been underweight and continue to loss weight) i have no pain,no reflux, no heartburn, no vomiting ,no nausea.
Avatar m tn As pain increases, heart rate and therefore blood pressure increases as well. Have you ever had thyroid studies done, any weight loss recently unexplained, Does the heat intolerance occur at any other times? What I'm getting at is a possible hyperthyroid state. Intolerance to heat, weight loss that is unexplained, irritability, fast heart rate, etc., all occur with being hyperthyroid.
Avatar f tn severe nausea, total lack of appetite, steatorrhea, weight loss 14 lbs, lower abdominal pain, near constipation (have had Crohn's 28 yrs and always have had diarrhea), upper right quadrant pain after eating only a yoghurt, radiating to armpit, shoulder and neck. Saw GP 4 weeks ago - prescribed omeprazole. Got urgent appt 2 weeks ago with gastro,prescribed domperidone for nausea, doubled omeprazole.CT scan 6/26 pancreas,liver abdomen,pelvis. Upper GI endoscopy 7/99 July.
Avatar f tn Appetite and weight loss are other symptoms. Persons with duodenal ulcers may experience weight gain because the persons eats more to ease discomfort. Recurrent vomiting, blood in the stool and anemia are other symptoms. for more info on GERD/acid reflux see our Health Pages for tips . http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/list?
Avatar m tn Since then i have been taking medicine for acid reflux (acid coming up, shortness of breath and tight chest), I am on Omeprazole 20mg once a day. For about the last 2 weeks i have had a gland up in my armpit as well as aches in my forearms and lower legs (not all the time, I get it more when i am resting). I've had a private medical which all bloods etc came back fine, apart from i am over weight.
5489251 tn?1369276555 as such this is accompanied by weight loss. So, record your temperatures, on a two hourly basis to detect an evening rise of temperature. Please check with your doctor to rule out this condition. Regards.
142841 tn?1201975052 I also have GERD and was taking Omeprazole before starting Harvoni. I dieted and lost more weight than may have been good, lost the fat around my middle and have been very careful what I eat, when I eat, and take tums when needed (not within 5 hours of taking the Harvoni). I think the weight in my middle squeezes the stomach. I was very worried about life without Omeprazole, but I am in week 5 of treatment and have been able to manage without it. The RIBA makes it worse.
Avatar m tn t digest foods normally and they are remaining in my stomach too long , no pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, reflux,(common symptoms of gp) just feeling full and lack of appetite many times ,so I have had remarkable weight loss within 5 months ,and I mostly live on liquids and soups.There was no problems in my endoscopies, CT Scan spirals,and lab tests.
1448936 tn?1363206346 ive been to the er 3 times and they dont think its my gallbladder because my tests they did were all normal and it wouldnt explain the weight loss and persistent nausea. i was told that it could be gastritis but not sure yet. i was also told it could be anxiety because i do have a history of anxiety. im not quite sure what to do..i dont have insurance so it will be difficult for me to go to a gi doc..i do have a dr appt mon with my pcp. any idea what this could be?
Avatar f tn My 16 year old daughter has been suffering since April 2015 with constant nausea (but not being sick), acid reflux, dizziness, fatigue and slow weight loss (appetite was okay) it came on all of a sudden. She was admitted with suspected appendicitis in the September 2015 as she was having bad stomach pains/cramps sickness with a high temperature but it was diagnosed as mesenteric adenitis on a ultrasound scan. She has had a couple more episodes a few months later but never went to hospital.
568812 tn?1379165794 Hi i am on 40mg of Omeprazole for acid reflux. Has anyone here had side effects from it like loose stools?
