prevacid

Avatar f tn Because of your history of smoking your risk for coronary artery disease isn't low and I would not blow this off. i would suggest being seen by a cardiologist and having a stress test done to assess for any significant coronary artery disease.
Avatar f tn i already had the test last month and doctor said there nothing wrong... they just let me to drink prevacid for 14 days... he want me to go back to have city scan... but im afraid im just waisting my time for all the test since they make everything and they dont see anything... (i had two different doctor check up before having all the test) and when im dont on my 14 days drinking prevacid its never been severe and not everyday pain. so i decided not to go back..

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 f tn I havnt had any recent surgeries. I do have a family history of acid reflux, gallstones, hiatal(spelling) hernia, peptic ulcer and high cholesterol. Does anyone have any ideas? What diagnostic tests should I ask for? Is there anything else important to say that I am leaving out? Please help!
Avatar m tn Wait at least 2 hours after having your evening meal and before going to bed. Over-the-counter medicines Prevacid taken WITH either Pepcid or Zantac will decrease the stomach acid causing the GERD symptoms. Sleeping with a wedge under your mattress so your chest is higher than your stomach may help. If you could stand to lose a few pounds, lose them. Do not self-medicate with Prevacid and Zantac or Pepcid for more than 2 weeks.
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.
Avatar f tn I am having a problem with taking my Prevacid 4 hrs. after Synthroid. Right now my routine is to take Synthroid when I first get up and 6 AM. an hour later eat something void of fiber (usually egg sub.) The 4 hrs. later I take the Prevacid and have another small meal (cereal usually). The problem is something is causing a bad taste to come back in to my mouth sometime after all this and I am thinking it is because the Prevacid really is not being taken prior to eating.
Avatar f tn If you were my patient, I would ask you questions about your heart and family history. If that was all normal, and you had no heart murmurs, I would probably prescribe Prevacid or one of the other H2 blockers for you to alleviate both symptoms. Certainly some nausea is to be expected at your stage. Rellux from the stomach up into the esophagus can cause chest pain and nausea both, though so some of the symptoms might be improved. Good luck!
Avatar n tn 12 year old female, no real medical history until 9 months ago. Pain started in left rib about 9 months ago, came and went at night. Then came back over the summer. X rays showed nothing abnormal. Then about a month ago pain in lower right abdomen, that then spread across the abdomen. Blood tests, MRI, x-rays, ultrasound all normal. Pain then started in the chest, EKG and subsequent blood tests/ultrasound/X-rays still normal. Rib pain and abdominal pain comes and goes, chest pain is gone.
Avatar m tn I was told to cut back the Prevacid to once a day. My blood work shows no obvious problems. Has prevacid been linked to Osteoporosis? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/236579'>Prevacid and Osteoporosis</a>.
Avatar f tn I just went to the doctor to get blood tests and make sure that my drinking has not already damaged my body beyond repair. My doctor gave me Prevacid for some stomach issues I have been Having. Does anyone know if it is safe to take it when I have been drinking? I am really trying to stop but I am having problems with the withdrawls so I am trying to wean myself off. Any one have any opinions? I would hate to do more damage when I ma trying to correct already done damage.
Avatar n tn Welcome to the gastroenterology community! Did you just start taking prevacid? Have you eaten anything red recently? Are you constipated? Do you have hemmorhoids?
Avatar f tn Now off hydro 5 days, taking prevacid again. I will deal with acid reflux and take my prevacid..Stress does make it flare up really bad...so just maybe I can get it back under control soon...
Avatar f tn I'm a 33 year old female. 3 nights ago, I was woken up by intense stomach pains (right in the bottom/center of my ribs) that felt like they were coming in waves lasting about 3-5 seconds. I was eating Gaviscon tablets all night, which helped for about 25 minutes at a time. I have absolutely NO history of stomach issues or even heartburn. I've been taking Prevacid for 2 days and its helping though I still take Gaviscon liquid in the morning and when I go to bed.
Avatar n tn Have been sufering from EBV for about six months now, Stomach issues have been minor left/center pain, naesue have a family history of diver and my brother is currently being treated for liver canser. What test do you think the gastro may order. Do not want to just being doing something to be doing it? Bear in mind I am 46 so ins. will not pay for a colonscopy.
Avatar f tn I know this is long, but it's the only way to really explain: I was admitted 3 years ago for sever acid reflux. I've been sick for almost a year now straight. I keep getting tossed back and forth with no answers. Last year my throat swelled and I was rushed to the ER. When I got back home I was sent to three docs who decided I had Angio edema...with no known cause.
Avatar m tn After taking Prevacid, I gain my appetite back. The problem is, I have develope new symptoms after taking prevacid for 1 week. I am having very loose bowel movements, blood on the toliet paper when I wipe, indigestion, lower abdominal pain. Most importantly is I am having more frequent heartburn and chest pain, which I don't have when I am on the H2 blocker.
Avatar n tn i had blood work done and now my cholesterol is 160 without any changes except for the Prevacid. Can Prevacid lower cholesterol ? I was worried because I have read that an unexplained drop in cholesterol could mean cancer someplace.
547002 tn?1219797376 I quit prevacid on many occasions cold turkey. It caused massive lower stomach cramps and thick painful diarrhea. I recommend you get off it immediately, however, slowly ween yourself off. DO NOT quit cold turkey. Get on Zantac. PPI's truly messed me up. Made me 1000 times sicker than my GERD. Now I've been off them for 6 months and live a normal healthy life. Those are poison. Doctors will do anything they can to get your money, don't belive the ppi hype.
Avatar n tn I'd be interested to know what input you get about this. I have been having what seem to be allergy episodes -- nasal congestion, watery eyes, clear mucous -- for a day or 2, then it's gone. I don't use decongestants as I have a history of Afib, pac's & pat. My first episode, I woke up with Afib and ending up needing to be electro-converted. I am abut ready to see an allergist, as I can't identify a trigger. Is the omeprazole a proton pump inhibitor for reflux?
Avatar n tn I take 30 milligrams of Prevacid every single day and have taken it for nearly 9 years to control the GERD symptoms. I have always had the tenderness in the center of my chest as well. No doctor has ever been able to connect it with the GERD but it does seem to be more present during a particulary bad episode. I often wonder when my chest is tender like that if it is more tender becasue I'm "testing" its tenderness by pressing it which in turn makes it more tneder and sore.
Avatar n tn Started Prevacid and also Strattera for ADD. We were able to wean off of the Prevacid and just stick to Strattera, as our peds thinks the Strattera helps him with the anxiety related to the GERD, and therefore he had no complaints of symptoms of GERD. In March we went off of the Strattera, and within 4 weeks the symptoms of GERD re-appeared ( Not eating, coughing, feeling like something is caught in his throat.) We went back on Strattera and Prevacid.
Avatar f tn Thank you for answering!
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'm pretty scared.... I don't know what to think. 44 about to be 45 year old white male I had heart disease at an early age but other than that, no health problems. About a year now I have had very bad acid reflux and at times due to the damage it was causing, I had lots of trouble swallowing. Before I started taking prevacid ...I wasn't able to swallow ANY kind of food that had any kind of heat to it..and by heat I mean spicy, I don't mean temperature wise.
3211873 tn?1345809345 o) I have been dealing with GERD for years with months of feeling great and weeks of feeling horrible. I recently switched from Tecta to Prevacid and have never felt WORSE :o( I was prescribed 30mg two times daily. My stomach feels bloated and nauseous, i have horrible gas, but the one thing freaking me out the most if I'm getting short sharp chest/stomach pains. The leave as quickly as they come and sometimes gone before I realize it's happened.
Avatar n tn I have fought taking PPis over the years but when I developed the EE, I had to go on high dose prevacid---30 mgs, 2x daily. I wake up some mornings with stabbing pain in my gut with the first deep breath that I take. I experimented recently afte wakin gup in pain, and didn't ake the prevacid that night. i woke up with no pain in my gut. Has anyone else had a PPI cause them stomach pain? I am also on a swallowed steroid for the EE.
