prevacid

Avatar n tn Recently, I woke up at 2 a.m. after eating something spicy and felt shortness of breath, combined with acid. I was coughing but it was unproductive and dry. This feeling continued and prompted me to see the doc. I thought for sure I must have a hiatal hernia combined with acid, because of the shortness of breath feeling, but after a barium upper/lower GI, no evidence of hernia was found. Just alot of acid reflux! I am currently taking Prilosec OTC and have been ever since seeing the doc.
Avatar n tn Shortness of breath. Trouble getting a full breath/filling my lungs. Went from being an avid athlete and runner to barely being able to walk up and down stairs - all in one week. Nasal congestion. Throat congestion/mucus feeling, particulary when outdoors or immediately after eating, accompanied by a deep cough, which doesn't really produce any mucus. No problems while sleeping. Full throat feeling on occasion that feels like I am being choked and a gas is trying to push through my throat.
Avatar f tn t know what is wrong with me. My gen. practitioner pretty much said that the shortness of breath may be asthma and gave me an inhaler and told me to go on about my day. The ER Doctor did a number of tests EKG, Liver enzyme, urine, something else to do with the heart and also but me on a heart monitor for a few hours to measure my pulse and everything came back normal.
Avatar m tn Does anyone else get epigastric pain with exercise, and shortness of breath due to GERD? My physician and I have exhausted all other options, so it seems my exercise intolerance is due to my GERD. I have had a PH study which came back pretty nasty, and the GI doc recommended a Nissen, and now my personal doc is as well. However, I want to be completely sure GERD is causing these problems before I go down this road. Any advice?
Avatar n tn I had severe shortness of breath and other symptoms due to severe bradypnea. At my worst, breathing dropped down to 6 breaths a minute. Bradypnea is my worst symptom of hypothyroidism. Bradypnea can lead to hypoxemia (low oxygen) and hypercapnia (high carbon dioxide). I had a false normal pulse oximeter (a sensor device placed on the fingertip) reading due to high carbon dioxide in the blood. Excerpt from Respiratory function in thyroid disease...
Avatar f tn yes, shortness of breath especially walking up stairs... drink atleast a gallon of water per day...
Avatar f tn I have had the edema on and off, and my Endo used to check my ankles when I had an office visit, so with Hashi's it is common, although I have not had shortness of breath.
Avatar f tn I know anxiety can cause shortness of breath, but in my later pregnancy I got shortness of breath all the time!
Avatar n tn ll notice that this side effect is gone. Of course, the heartburn may then be back. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. (Note that this does not preclude CalGal's statement from being true.) You may want to see about either cutting back on your medication (since the severity may be cyclical) or supplementation with HCL. Also, you may wish to try something called "Heartburn Free with ROH10" by a company called Enzymatic Therapy during those times when your heartburn kicks up.
Avatar n tn Shortness of breath should always be checked out. It is entirely possible it could be that his stented areas are blocking again or new blockages are forming. I'd suggest he go his health profressional asap.
Avatar m tn I went to the ER once with chest pain and shortness of breath. They gave me a prevacid and it actually helped with the pain and breathing. I never knew that stomach acid could cause pain and breathing problems. I've never heard of someone being able to consistenly pop their ribs and chest. Mine have popped radomly here and there, but I don't know how I would do it again. I agree with Mellie that you should see a doctor. That's the best thing to do.
Avatar f tn Shortness of breath can happen for lots of reasons. Sometimes it can happen because a person is breathing too fast, called hyperventillation. This can happen when people have panic attacks, and are very worried or anxious. Sometimes people also have tingly fingers when this happens. Sometimes shortness of breath can also be from serious medical problems.
Avatar n tn Hi, for the past 9 days I have had constant shortness of breath. It started with a dry cough, tightness in the chest and shortness of breath but now it's pretty much just the shortness of breath. I also am constantly burping and I feel as if I have a lump stuck in my throat. I have had a chest x-ray, ekg, blood tests and a CT angiogram of my chest done. Everything came out normal.
Avatar n tn However, they are not to be taken lightly and MUST be discussed with your Dr. Shortness of breath and chest pains can be symptoms of Heart Problems. I have had a Heart Attack and know what to expect, and I was not overly concerned. But I did immediately discuss this with my Dr.
Avatar f tn m currently 9 weeks pregnant but when my hubby runs my back the shortness of breath goes away but it comes back like 20 to 30 minutes later I'm not sure if it's due to me being pregnant or what it's kinda freaking me out I do smoke and I am really wanting to quit
Avatar m tn Shortness of breath is a common symptom that can be caused by a long list of possible underlying problems. The safest course of action would be to see your physician. Your doctor can take a careful history, conduct a physical exam, and then order appropriate tests. Without any additional information, it would not be possible to answer your question in an accurate manner.
Avatar n tn Do any of you suffer shortness of breath along with PVCs? I believe I do. I "skip beats" always at least 1 in every 30. sometimes as often as 1 in 2 or 3 beats.
Avatar f tn thanks its not too bad at the moment, I had asthma as a child till I was about 18 and have always had shortness of breath when exersising, I am now 30 so would have thought the asthma should have cleared up, but it certainly feels like that, a sort of heavy lung feeling. No dizzyness or lightheadedness. Am seeing my doc ob Fri so will mention it then, glad to know that others experienced the same though.
Avatar f tn I meant this to be a comment on a previous post about people who have the same problem I have with excessive yawning or inability to complete the yawn and shortness of breath. The shortness of breath is not really "shortness of breath" though. It is the best way to describe it I guess but it just feels like you can't get a full satisfying deep breath.
4524318 tn?1355879252 do u have a doctor to go to and get checked? Shortness of breath, ie...loss of breath or difficulty breathing.. while climbing stairs or ambulating short distances is often from COPD/a lung disease often affecting smokers.. or heart issues...
338416 tn?1420045702 I've heard a lot of people talk about having shortness of breath. I wanted to pick your brains on this forum and see if you've heard about it being related to MS. I have recurring mild shortness of breath, best described as 'air hunger.' It's one of those things that comes and goes, like the bladder, the weak leg and the sleepy hands, so I think it must be neurological.
Avatar m tn I have been to the hospital a couple of times to try and diagnose why I have continous stomach gas and shorness of breath. It is making it very dificult to get any rest. At one point they found fluid in my leg and went on Lasix. Now I am on Lasix to remove the fluid they found with the echo gram around my heart. I also had a cat scan and no blot clots are present in my lungs. The GI doctor told me that the best he can do is keep me on Prevacid for my gas issues.
Avatar n tn angela ~ Yikes! I taught again today and same thing...I'm talking and talking and then, yep, shortness of breath. What scares me is that in my first pregnancy, the shortness of breath led to dizziness and fainting as I got further along. (I had m/c so I don't know how long it would have lasted). I really hope the dizziness/fainting don't re-occur this time around. Especially when I'm teaching! They're all drama students and they would love it if their teacher fainted.
Avatar n tn It causes shortness of breath and anxiety. The shortness of breath is very frightening. I have been to the Doctor, but of course, Im never bloated when Im at the Doctors office. Antacids dont help much, and it goes away after a couple of hours, only to return without warning, and isnt related to whether or nor Ive eaten.
Avatar n tn m 23 year old male , i started getting short breath and chest tightness on several occasions without any specific triggers it came also with high pulse rate low pressure and disorientation , then it became worse and i almost fainted several times and the worst episode of these symptoms lasted about an hour after that the case improved and i could breath normally , i suspected a cardiology condition and i went to a cardiologist he did ECG and echo tests and told me my heart is very good and the
Avatar f tn Monday afthernoon on my way to lunch, I felt short of breath. So I sat for a bit and it passed. Later that afternoon I went to the ER because I felt short of breath again but this time tingling on my hands and arms. THey did an ekg which was normal, blood pressure was normal and heart beats per min were 106. The doctor there said I was hyperventilating and told me to calm down and take calcium supplements.
