Avatar m tn How long will I have to take pantoprazole 40mg/day for my acid reflux? Will I ever be cured from acid reflux hence no more medicine OR this is a life time thing which means continued use of daily medicine?
Avatar n tn So here's my story. I never had heartburn before in my life. I was prescribed 40mg of prednisone for 5 days and was never told to take an antacid or ppi while I was on it. Fast forward to the 6th day I was woken up to chest pain and my heart fluttering. I wasn't sure what it was and couldn't fall back asleep until hours later. I went to the ER two days later for the chest pain and they gave me an oral steroid to take along with 2 weeks worth of famotodine to take.
Avatar m tn Then I started having stomach pains and I was put on the antacid pantoprazole and a stool softener for constipation. After about a month and a half I was feeling so good I stopped taking the pantoprazole after consulting with my doctor. A week later I was having bad GERD and went back on it. I still don't know what initially caused the bloating, why it ramped up to GERD so quickly off the medication, and how damaged my LES is now.
Avatar n tn I have recently read that it does and am curious what others think. I have GERD and Hiatal Hernia and take Pantoprazole, 40 mg twice a day.
Avatar f tn Welcome to the gastroenterology community! From your profile I see that you are a teenager and I assume you live in the US. I would guess that this is anxiety, which I see that you also have from your profile. Pantoprazole (Protonix) is only by perscription and treats GERD which I don't think you have and Domperidone is not FDA approved in the US so I would not recommend either of these suggestion.
Avatar f tn gave me a very heavy duty antibiotic which got rid of that, also gave me Dexalant for the burping, which I had to stop taking because it gave me diarrhea, then she gave me a prescription for pantoprazole sodium Dr. 40mg instead, which I have been taking for a few weeks & that hasn't helped either. The burping is constant, even during the night when I get up to go to the bathroom.
Avatar f tn Hi, pretty well everything you wrote rings a bell, I have been on Pantoprazole sold under Protium Brand in the UK for 12 years despite the fact that most leaflets state 8 weeks max and not tested for long term use, I also use lots of Gaviscon. I do have a confirmed Hiatal Hernia which produces acid reflux sometimes during the daytime and almost always if I nap during the day whilst sitting up.
Avatar m tn This has been on-going for a few years. It was determined I have GERD but I have no acid reflux symptoms other than occasional indigestion/gas. I have no heartburn or reflux type symptoms and my EDG showed only 1 small erosion. I've been on PPI's like pantoprazole, omeprazole, lanoprazole, all because of this "lump sensation" that developed years ago.
Avatar f tn Also I have pain in the right upper quadrant of my abdomen(1st pack of abs to be specific), this even occured before october 7(day when I got gerd symptoms). I have been anxious as i I have been taking Albis for the first 2 weeks and pantoprazole with antacids for the next 2 weeks. There has been improvements on gerd as I can sleep without my wedge but I'm afraid because I can feel my heart pound (pounding hard).
Avatar m tn I am in the same predicament as you. I have been taking Protonix (Pantoprazole) for a few years now. If I stop taking it, I have a constant burning in my throat during the day as well as waking up at night. I have seen several doctors and none of them can tell me what is happening. I do notice though, that if I stop eating spicy food like, vinegar, hot sauce and things like that and not eat past 6:00 pm, it works out better.
Avatar f tn i have been diagnosed with gerd i am taking pantoprazole sandoz 40mg twice daily.
Avatar f tn I've had GERD for over 30 years since I was in grade school. I don't think there is a cure for it. I do take prilosec everyday, drink peppermint tea, and most importantly avoid irritable foods. Yet no matter what I do, a minor illness like a cold/flu/allergy, stress, weather change, travel and many other things can throw it off. It take me at least 2-3 months to get the symptoms back on track.
Avatar f tn s been 2 months since i had this fatigue feeling and stomach upset, i gad an ultrasound done for whole abdomen and everything went fine, also had thyroid panel and blood test and lipid panel, all went fine except for slightly elevated triglyceride level and SGPT level.
Avatar f tn I have also been informed I have GERD and iron deficiency anemia. Starting to think this might be chrons. Been on pantoprazole. I've improved but I still get diarrhea maybe 1-2 times a day and its been at least 10 months since my eradication. Any suggestions? I tested twice so far with stool culture and a breath test. The pylori has been eradicated.
Avatar f tn Now I was taking 2x1 40mg Pantoprazole for 14 days, then starting yesterday 1x1 in the morning 40mg for additional 1 month, and at same time I have to take sucralfate just before sleep.
Avatar f tn s not that painful anymore but I am worried now to sleep because I might feel that pain again. I also have gerd and taking pantoprazole+domperidone so i hope its just because of my medicines.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I noticed today after toiled I wiped and it was very sticky and very dark brown ans a strange odor . Stool looked normal. I am having GERD flare right now and take Gaviscon every night(almost) Have started Pantoprazole today. Yesterday I had grilled pork steak . I also eat about 50grms of dark chocolate every day.
Avatar n tn I have been on pantoprazole for only 8 days and have developed very sore lower back pain as well as pain in my legs. Anyone else having the same problems on this med. I am going to stop this med and go onto Zantac 150 and see if this is the problem. I am active and never had site back like this.
Avatar f tn If you have GERD and gastritis, then thats probbably causing your symptoms. Didn't you get any treatment for this?
Avatar f tn Phlegm in throat from gerd for about 2 weeks now.
