Avatar f tn I was warned about eating a big meal. I, too, noticed that my arrythmias frequently seem to related to gastrointestinal irratation. My primary care doc says the vegas nerve runs alongside the heart and if it is irriatated, it can cause heart issues. Your pregnancy might be triggering your pvcs. I had terrible heartburn during pregnancy, as I was shortwaisted and there wasn't a lot of room with everything pushing up. I take Prevacid 30 mg.
Avatar f tn t work, or stops working like in my case, Prevacid is also safe during pregnancy and works like a charm. I had it real bad this last time and Prevacid was all that would help me.
Avatar f tn Um o cant remember if this is fact bit i do believe it is not ok. But double check. They usually say just drink milk. I forced the acid up n out then drank milk....that usually helped.
Avatar f tn Look up your medications and on their websites there will be listings of effects during pregnancy or contra-indications during pregnancy. You could also ask a pharmacist, or your doctor.
Avatar f tn You can take prisoner of Prevacid during pregnancy. And I have heard it really helps. I just drink glass after glass of milk. Because I don't like meds.
6822962 tn?1396329659 I have been taking prevacid my entire pregnancy. I have ulcers and really bad acid reflux. I called my drs office to make sure it was ok and the nurse saidit was safe. It works wonders for me. I don't get heartburn unless I miss a day. Which I never do because it's so bad. I'm 8 weeks +4 and everything is going fine with baby.

Avatar n tn i take prevacid for my gerd, can this cause atrial fibrillation This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/937646'>acid reflux</a>.
Avatar n tn Hi I have had GERD for a few years now. I've never had halitosis. Recently my reflux started acting up, so i doubled my prevacid. I'm not sure what is causing my very horrid halitosis. I have figured out it is not dental related. In fact when I burp, I can feel the hot yucky gas coming up from my stomach. A recent google showed that prevacid can cause a side effect of halitosis. Other comments insist it is the GERD but I am not entirely convinced.

Avatar m tn I just started taking 30 mg of Lansoprazole a day for gerd. Does anyone know if the Prevacid (lansoprozole) prevents absorption of the the drugs. I asked my GI doctor and he said he didn't think there were issues of that sort, but he wasn't sure. appreciate any advice!
Avatar f tn 00 am - and all the vitamins in the eve or late at night. Prevacid is an acid inhibitor - so during the course of 10 years - looking at my blood work - i had to supplement the above mentioned Vitamins due course of time. Recently i got diagonsed for open angle glaucoma and had laser surgery. Reading all these posts is a great feeling - not alone.

And its hard for me to sleep unless I'm sleeping sitting up! I haven't took nothing for cause I don't really want to but it keeps getting worst. Is tums safe to take during pregnancy??
Avatar n tn Hi! I hope I am understanding your question properly. We commonly refer to your complaints as "heartburn" or GERD which stands for GI Reflux Disease It is common during pregnancy and can be treated with TUMS or other antacid products. If it is severe, I will often treat my patients with Prilosec or Prevacid for an interval to get symptoms under control. Two tips--don't eat large meals, and don't lie down for at least an hour after eating! Good luck!
547181 tn?1255146506 I have heared that its a normal thing during Tx is it ??? Can anyone advice my any tip by which i can control or reduce this acidity problem ??
Avatar m tn The Prevacid seemed to make the GERD much much worse, and now the Prevacid seems to be doing nothing at all. I have terrible GERD. It affects me every day, all the time. What happens is, normally, my breath will be labored (being overweight doesn't exactly help the situation) my chest will feel very full, my heart will race for no reason at all during different times of the day. It flares up terrible after meals, even if they aren't heavy.
Avatar f tn My Dr told me to stay away from Zantac during my pregnancy. Something like that I would ask your Dr about as its individual basis.
470885 tn?1326329037 I was getting the worst cases of heartburn in the middle of the night, many hours after eating. I tried Tums and those other wonderful OTC antacids too...no help. My OB gave me a script for Nexium...it has an expensive co-pay $45 for a 30 day supply......it is worth every penny!!!!!! Good luck!
20922415 tn?1661860103 During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus called the endometrium.
Avatar n tn Hi, I am a 35 year-old male. I recently had a stress test. Before the test my blood pressure was144; however, during the test it dropped to 126. In addition, EKG showed "irregularities". What could be the reason for dropping blood pressure? P.S.

Avatar n tn Buy prevacid off the counter wrks wonders!
Avatar f tn I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and for the past couple weeks have been more nausious and throwing up more than I have throughout my whole pregnancy. Every night I wake up nausious and am constantly turning and moving to try to stop it because I feel like I am going to throw up. It carries on into my morning. I usually eat around noon for the first time during the day and no matter what I eat I always throw it back up. Sometimes I throw up even when I do not eat.
Avatar n tn My daughter also takes pentasa and WAS taking prevacid. The prevacid didn't seem to help her and our GI switched her to prilosec. My daughter has had no complaints with the prilosec. Both prevacid and prilosec have the same actions so they do the same things. The only interaction that I know of with prevacid and penicillin is with a type of penicillin called Ampicillin and it may inhibit the absorption of the prevacid.
