prilosec
I suggested he try Prilosec, and all this went away, as did his prescription medication. Give it a try, it worked wonders for him. Google the medication you're on for side effects, or call your pharmacist to determine if this is having any affect on it.
You need an ultrasound of your thyroid and a thyroid blood panel. That will detect any abnormalities. I'm afraid there's no way to know for sure by your symptoms. The sensation in your throat is commonly reported by thyroid patients, but I'm not sure about your stomach upset. Especially with your history of thyroid irregularities, your doctor should run these basic tests.
t see any cause for concern in terms of thyroid cancer or any other type of growth on the thyroid. He suspected the problem was acid reflux and told me to take Prilosec for 14 days, but also referred me for a TSH test because I'd gained some weight recently (although it was explainable due to a lifestyle change from a job where I walked to work to driving every day) and my grandmother had been treated for an underactive thyroid.
If she has a goiter, she should be on thyroid medication, a goiter is an inflammation of the thyroid, and I have Hashimoto's and have stomach issues, bloating or too much air, it is not abnormal for the stomach to make a little noise, however the excess air can create pain, I have been going through it for two years now, and don't ask me what it is about Hashi's that cause it, because I don't have the answer, I have been through 2 Endoscopy's 1 Endoscopal Ultrasound, 1 Abdomi
He has run a complete workup on me everytime I go and all of my numbers are within normal range. And he's a thyroid specialist at the Diabetes and Thyroid Institute of Fort Worth. He's been on TV! And he's been great.....until now. I always make a point of asking him about my Free T3 and Free T4 and everytime I look at the labs they are normal.
Prilosec is a good product for Acid Reflux,but don't take Nexium with it, just one or the other, also there are many foods that cause AR, deep fried foods, Coffee and or Drinks that contain Caffein. So no one has even bothered to check your thyroid?
t eat sometimes. The doctor had mentioned Prilosec and another medication as being ok to take, but I forget the other one. Anyways, I went to the store to get the Prilosec and the only thing they have for Prilosec is a 14 day treatment which may not work for 1-4 days. I want something with immediate relief and wondered if the anyone took the other ones like Zantac or whatever else is out there. Tums does NOT work for me. Any input as to what your doctor said was ok, please let me know.
I have become very concerned about the amount of excederine, prilosec, nasal spray, aleve, and other antacid medicines that she takes. She has a history of bleeding ulcers, she smokes about 2 packs of cigarettes a week, high blood pressure, and other ailments of old age. I didn't realize that she was taking so much of this medicine. Especially the excedrine and prilosec. I have not been able to accurately assess how much excedrine she takes because I think she buys it on the sly.
Hello,
Chronic sinusitis or chronic allergic rhinitis can lead to the saliva changes making them sticky and thick and hence dry mouth and tongue. A CTscan of the sinuses may help with the diagnosis. If chronic sinusitis is diagnosed, a course of oral antibiotics or steroids can be considered.
Are you taking some medicines like diuretics, antihistamines, antidepressants and muscle relaxants? They can also cause dry throat and mouth.
Based on the first test results you posted, your TSH was 2.3, FT4 was .91, and FT3 ws 2.76. I assume you were not tested for thyroid antibodies with that TSH, so the doctor started you on thyroid med, apparently because of the symptoms you were having, and at a dose that apparently did very little for you. Your current lab results were a TSH of 1.23, Free T4 of .97, and FT3 of 3.
I was first diagnosed with hyperthyroidism back in May 2004. I had a couple small nodules on one lobe of my thyroid. I was started on PTU (can't spell the full name LOL!) and responded very well to it. After a few months, the nodules had disappeared and my thyroid levels stabilized. In July of 2008 I was started on Amiodarone for my atrial fibrillation. Amiodarone has an iodine content to it and seems to have caused my thyroid levels to go up again.
